1. Luther's reply at the Diet of Worms: "Since then Your Majesty and your lordships desire a simply reply, I will answer without horns and without teeth. Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of peoples and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." (Bainton, 180) 2. Luther on the exchange of our sin with Christ's righteousness: "Who then can fully appreciate what this royal marriage means? Who can understand the riches of the glory of this grace? Here this rich and divine bridegroom Christ marries this poor, wicked harlot, redeems her from all her evil, and adorns her with all his goodness. Her sins cannot now destroy her, since they are laid upon Christ and swallowed up by him. And she has that righteousness in Christ, her husband, of w...

CRABS Several young boys were hunting crabs. When they caught them, they placed the ugly creatures in a wicker basket. Some adults passed by on the beach and noticed that the basket had no lid. One of the men called, "Hey, you boys had better cover that basket or the crabs will get away. "Naw, they won't," replied one lad. "If one crab tries to climb up, the others pull him down." Often in life when someone tries to climb up, he is pulled down by so-called friends. However, the real friend is one who helps a person actualize his goals. And, Jesus is a friend that "sticks closer than a brother." One day, when Jesus told Peter that Satan was out to trap the brash fisherman, Peter put up a good front and claimed he would never deny the Master. Jesus, being a true friend, said: But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail (Luke 22:31-34). Praying for one another is imperative. If we really love each other we must boost...

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you, and I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always, though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. – Thomas Merton

It all matters on why we do "works" - is it to gain salvation or to bring fruit because we are saved? is it to gain the kingdom or to spread the kingdom of God? is it because we trust in our works or a continuous "yes" to the One who loved us first expressed in our action? Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2)

“Unë jam Alfa dhe Omega, fillimi dhe mbarimi,” thotë Zoti “që është dhe që ishte dhe që vjen, i Plotfuqishmi.”   »Ја сам Алфа и Омега«, каже Господ Бог, који јесте, који је био и који долази, Сведржитељ Jag är A och Ö, början och slutet på allting, säger Gud, som är Herren, den allsmäktige, som är och som var och som kommer igen! “Mimi ni Alfa na Omega,” asema Bwana Mungu, “Aliyeko na aliyekuwako na ata kayekuja, Mwenyezi.” கர்த்தர் கூறுகிறார்: “நான் அல்பாவும் ஒமேகாவுமாய் இருக்கிறேன். நான் இருக்கிறவராகவும், இருந்தவராகவும், இனி வருகிறவருமாய் இருக்கிற சர்வவல்லமை உள்ளவராயிருக்கிறேன்.”       พระเจ้าผู้เป็นองค์พระผู้เป็นเจ้าตรัสว่า “เราเป็นอัลฟาและโอเมกา ผู้ดำรงอยู่ในปัจจุบันและดำรงอยู่ในอดีตและจะเสด็จมา เราคือองค์ทรงฤทธิ์” “Ako ang Alpha at ang Omega,” ang sabi ng Panginoong Diyos, na siyang kasalukuyan, nakaraan at siyang darating, ang Makapangyarihan sa lahat.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الإلَهُ: «أنا هُوَ الألِفُ وَالياءُ، الكائِنُ وَالَّذِي كانَ وَالَّذِي سَيَأتِي، القادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ. सबसे बड़ी ताकतवाला पर्भू परमेस्सर, जउन बरकरार अहइ, हमेसा हमेसा स रहा अउर जउन आवइवाला अहइ, कहत अहइ, “मइँ अलफा (आदि) अउर ओमेगा (अन्त) दुइनउँ अही। Аз съм Алфата и Омегата – казва Господ Бог, – Този, който е, който беше и който идва, Всемогъщият.

What happened to you, whose name means "judge"? Why are you not mentioned in the Book of Revelation in chapter 7? Is it because you did not settle the land assigned to you? Joshua 19:40-48: 40  The seventh lot came out for the tribe of Dan according to its clans. 41  The territory of their inheritance included: Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, 42  Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43  Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44  Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45  Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, 46  Me Jarkon and Rakkon, with the area facing Joppa. 47  (When the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and attacked Leshem*, took it, put it to the sword and occupied it. They settled in Leshem* and named it Dan after their ancestor.) 48  These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of Dan, according to its clans. Is it because you failed to support Deborah, who was the God appointed judge in her time? Judges 5:12-18: ...

21  For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. The Jews believed in the power of God to give life and to raise the dead; see Deuteronomy 32:39 ; 1 Samuel 2:6 ; Isaiah 26:19 . In our Lord’s time there was in use the following prayer: “Thou, O Lord, art mighty for ever; Thou quickenest the dead; Thou art strong to save; Thou sustainest the living by Thy mercy; Thou quickenest the dead by Thy great compassion; Thou makest good Thy faithfulness to them that sleep in the dust; Thou art faithful to quicken the dead. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who quickenest the dead.”  Expositor's Greek Testament

25  Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.

13  For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.   14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.   15  For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
