God Became Human!
Let us consider well how highly we have been honored by the fact that Christ, the Son of God, became man. So great is this honor that if one of us were an angel, he might rightly wish he were a man, so that he could say: My flesh and blood is enthroned above all angels.
Feeling Beat up by People Lately? There’s Good News!
Though men may accuse you, judge and condemn you, yet know for your support, that you are acquitted before the throne of God. However you may stand in the eyes of men, as full of nothing but faults, persons made up of nothing but sin, yet are you clear in the eyes of God.
God looks upon weak saints in the Son of His love, and sees them all lovely. They are as the tree of Paradise, ‘fair to his eye, and pleasant to his taste,’ (Gen. 3:6).
Ah, poor souls! You are apt to look upon your spots and blots, and to cry out with the leper not only ‘Unclean, unclean!’ but ‘Undone, undone!’
Well, forever remember this, that your persons stand before God in the righteousness of Christ, upon which account you always appear, before the throne of God, without fault. You are all fair, and there is no spot in you.

What We Do When We Preach
The object of all true preaching is the heart: we aim at divorcing the heart from sin, and wedding it to Christ.

When we assemble in Christ’s name, especially on his holy day, he will meet with us, and speak peace to us.
