“The gospel cannot be truly preached without offense and tumult.”

“So, we, at this day, when we thought we should have found favor among our own countrymen, for that we preached unto them the gospel of peace, life, and eternal salvation; instead of favor, we have found bitter and cruel hatred.”

“To preach Christ is to feed the soul, to justify it, to set it free, and to save it, if it believes the preaching.”

“God writes the gospel not in the Bible alone, but on trees and flowers and clouds and stars.”

“Well, there is nothing we can do about it. We have to put up with these snakes, dogs, and swine surrounding us and corrupting the Gospel both in doctrine and in life. Wherever there are faithful preachers they always have to take this. Such is the fortune of the Gospel in the world.”

“Therefore, when some say good works are forbidden when we preach faith alone, it is as if I said to a sick man: "If you had health, you would have the use of your limbs; but without health the works of your limbs are nothing"' and he wanted to infer that I had forbidden the works of all his limbs.”

“It is a doctrine of satan that men are no longer terrified by the law and have replaced it with a gospel of love and grace ONLY!”
