Gerhard and Walther

Love has an assimilating power; if thou lovest the world, thou wilt become worldly; if thou lovest heavenly things, thou wilt become heavenly-minded.—Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation XVI

We use so many hours for sleeping, for eating and drinking, and for friendly visits. Shouldn’t we be able to find time for prayer, for praising God, for examining His Word, which alone saves us?—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 816.
