The Gospel Cannot Be Preached

When God Wants To Speak And Deal With Us, He Does Not Avail Himself Of An Angel But Of Parents, Or The Pastor, Or Of Our Neighbor.

Our Preaching Does Not Stop With The Law. That Would Lead To Wounding Without Binding Up, Striking Down And Not Healing, Killing And Not Making Alive, Driving Down To Hell And Not Bringing Back Up, Humbling And Not Exalting. Therefore, We Must Also Preach Grace And The Promise Of Forgiveness - This Is The Means By Which Faith Is Awakened And Properly Taught. Without This Word Of Grace, The Law, Contrition, Penitence, And Everything Else Are Done And Taught In Vain.

The Mystery Of The Humanity Of Christ, That He Sunk Himself Into Our Flesh, Is Beyond All Human Understanding.

Undoubtedly They Do More And Viler Things Than Those Which We Know And Discover

As When My Little Son John Offendeth: If Then I Should Not Whip Him, But Call Him To The Table Unto Me, And Give Him Sugar And Plums, Thereby, I Should Make Him Worse, Yea Should Quite Spoil Him.
