The Law (131)
  1. Sometimes we try be the bad god, sometimes the good god, oftentimes a freaky hybrid of both. The result is the same: Jesus the savior just gets in our way.
  2. by Philip Melanchthon, translated by Scott L. Keith, Ph.D.; edited by Kurt Winrich
  3. You became, for a time, ritually unclean. Not sinful. Not immoral. To be unclean meant you bore in your own body the effects of a creation in bondage to decay.
  4. All our little laws reveal that we are, by nature, trying to justify ourselves before others, and before God, based on what we do and who we are.
  5. We fly away to the judgment seat of God. There we shall appear before the One who knows all, before whom nothing is hidden. Do you really think you can conceal anything from Him?
  6. Dear church, do not get sidetracked. This is about far more than terrorism, racism, gun ownership, and the like. This is about the evil of the human heart.
  7. To the Pastors and Preachers whose only word for me and others seem to be, "make sure you’re right with God!"
  8. To whatever extent we follow God’s perfect commands we will benefit from following them.
  9. Christ alone has finished your salvation. Christ alone could and has made satisfaction for your sins.
  10. By Philip Melanchthon (from the 1535 Loci Communes), translated by Scott L. Keith, Ph.D.
  11. So what's the back side? What's the promise? We shall not have other gods, but we do have the one, true God—the promise of a God for us.
  12. The biblical witness is clear: all the so-called gods and lords and idols who are the object of people’s devotion, to whom they offer their sacrifices, to whom they pray, whom they call God and Lord, are sadly nothing but a front for the father of lies.
