Quote of the Week

"Whenever the true message of the cross is abolished, the anger of hypocrites and heretics ceases, and all things are in peace. This is a sure token that the devil is guarding the entry of that house and the pure doctrine of God's word has been taken away. The church then is in the best state when Satan assaileth it on every side, both with subtle slights and outright violence. And (likewise) it is in the worst state when it is most at peace. This is why the Apostle Paul (in Galatians) taketh it for a most certain sign that whatever is preached in peace,'IS NOT THE GOSPEL'. By contrast, the world takes it for a most certain sign that a doctrine is heretical and dangerous when it sees great uproars, tumults, and people who are offended and creating devisions & sects after it is preached."

- MARTIN LUTHER
