Martin Luther

[Luther's] Catechism is at home in the evangelical pulpit, guiding and shaping what the preacher says so faith might be created and love given direction.

God bestows faith to the end that it should deal not with ordinary things, but with things no human being can master as death, sin, the world, and Satan.

Martin Luther is not–or, at least should not–be the object of our affection.

Belonging to Christ means we have a place where we fit, a resting place where we are at peace because we know our Lord accepts us as His own.

The central affirmation of the Reformation stands: Through no merit of ours, but by His mercy, we have been restored to a right relationship with God through the life, death, and resurrection of His beloved Son
