Entrusting in God

3 September 2026

 

For someone to entrust himself to God means that, from that point onwards, he will no longer be devoured by anguish or fear over anything; nor will he again be tormented by the thought that he has no one to look after him.

On Prayer

As a bird without wings, as a soldier without arms, so is a Christian without prayer.

On Holy Scripture

8 August 2026

 

The reading of the word of God should be performed in solitude, in order that the whole mind of the reader might be plunged into the truths of the Holy Scripture, and that from this he might receive warmth, which in solitude produces tears; from these a man is wholly warmed and is filled with spiritual gifts, which rejoice the mind and heart more than any word.

Justification by Faith

29 July 2026

 

Therefore they were all glorified and magnified, not through themselves or their own works or the righteous actions which they had produced, but through his will; and therefore we ourselves, who through his will have been called in Christ Jesus, are not justified through ourselves, nor through our own wisdom or understanding or piety or the works which we have produced in holiness of heart, but through faith, through which the Almighty God has justified all people from the beginning of the world; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

On the Resurrection

12 July 2026

 

If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.

The Final Say

11 July 2026

 

What I see around me would drive me insane, if I did not know that no matter what happens, God has the last word.
