Gerhard and Walther

What greater and nobler thing could a person do in this life than to praise God, his Creator?—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis III:350.

Whoever does not believe the Gospel that was sealed by the old miracles would hardly be convinced by new miracles. Indeed, had God continued to work these gifts and miracles in the Church they would have become contemptible, dismissed as something commonplace and considered to be no longer convincing to most people.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 646.
