STEWARDSHIP THOUGHTS FOR YOU...

* It is only when men begin to worshipthat they begin to grow! ~ Calvin Coolidge

* A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue,but the parent of all the other virtues! ~ Cicero

* Other books were given for our information;the Bible was given for our transformation!

Martin Luther on THE WORD: (In a letter written to two pastorsin 1528, Luther emphasized the importance of holding to the Word of God, as opposed to the “enthusiasts” who believed that the God must be felt beforeHis presence and working can be validated in their life.)

Power Inherent in the Word As Such. We must, after all,confess that in certain other articles the enthusiasts hold views whichaccord with Scripture and God’s Word and that although thy are impious heretics and blasphemers of Christ, he who hears andbelieves them on these points shall be saved. That God proclaims HisWord even through the wicked and the godless is not an insignificantblessing. In fact, in some respects it is more dangerous for Him toproclaim it through holy than through unholy people, for then thosewho lack understanding fall into the error of attaching more importance to the holiness of men than to the Word of God. In thisway more honor is ascribed to men than to God and His Word. Thedanger of doing this does not exist if Judas, Caiaphas, and Herodpreach. At the same time no one is excused for his evil life, eventhough God is able to use it for a good purpose.
