Martin Luther (407)
  1. The devil is to be taken seriously, but we should also not give him more credit or more power than he has after being defanged by Christ’s resurrection.
  2. In the vortex of uncertainty and upheaval, what’s the best thing we can do? Seize the ordinary.
  3. Can we fully experience the joy of the Festival of the Resurrection if we do not seriously stare boldly into the sad state of our own faithlessness to Him who promises to be faithful even when we are not?
  4. Paul says that the power of sin is the law. The more clearly we understand the law, the more sin oppresses and stings us.
  5. Christ teaches that we are not lost, but have eternal life. That God has so loved us that he allowed the ransom to cost him his only beloved child.
  6. For what end does the Law exist? The Law exposes us so that we might find the remedy in the person and work of Jesus.
  7. Ultimately the Christian life isn't about progress, it's about promise--the Pilgrim's Promise.
  8. Indeed, the law said, “You shall love the Lord your God,” but the law cannot give me such love, nor can it take my hand to grasp on to Christ.
  9. In some measure, if Luther had any success during his last two decades, it happened because of the woman who’d insisted on him as her bridegroom.
  10. Sometimes, the end is just the beginning. Gillespie and Riley conclude their reading of Martin Luther’s treatise on The Bondage of The Will. This episode, they discuss the relation of emotions to God’s Word and why Christians aren’t skeptics.
  11. I’m sorry, but your opinion means very little to me. Gillespie and Riley start to wrap up their reading of Martin Luther’s Bondage of The Will with a discussion of the Bible’s clarity and why personal feelings and our need to find meaning in everything can hijack God’s Word.
  12. Her importance goes beyond simply managing the reformer’s household.
