When we take to heart the many great blessings of God, first, one finds cause for giving praise and glory to God. For as many blessings as God the Lord shows to our body and soul, that’s how many matters and reasons for divine praise and inward thanksgiving pass before our eyes.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:361.
Whoever thinks he is unable to accept some small part of Holy Scripture rejects all of it. Whoever does not want to recognize the Old Testament as God’s Word thereby rejects the New Testament, for the latter is grounded in the former.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 664.
