Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!

If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.

We must pray and do our daily work, but everything we do must flow from faith.

In everything we do or experience we should have a happy heart and know that for Christ's sake we are in grace and that everything we do pleases God, even the fact that out of the needs of the body we eat and drink and do our work.

Whenever you are being praised, remember it is not you who is being praised but Christ, to whom all praise belongs.

I do not always pray, nor do I always meditate on the Law of the Lord and struggle continually with sin, death, and the devil; but I put on my clothes, I sleep, I play with the children, eat, drink, etc. If all these things are done in faith, they are approved by God's judgment as having been done rightly.

Works, since they are irrational things, cannot glorify God, although they may be done to the glory of God, if faith be present.

We shall understand why a Christian observes laws: For the peace of the world, out of gratitude to God, and for a good example that others may be attracted to the Gospel.

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too.

Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.

The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.
