Glory

"As I have frequently advised, Christian and true theology does not present God to us in His majesty, as Moses and other doctrines do, nor does it command us to pry into the nature of God; but it orders us to acknowledge His will as set forth in Christ.  It was God's will that Christ should assume flesh, should be born and suffer death for our sins, and that this should be preached among all peoples ... Therefore, if you are dealing with the doctrine of justification and arguing about finding the God who justifies and accepts sinners, about where and how you should look for Him, then know of absolutely no God outside this man, Jesus Christ.  Him you should embrace, to Him you should cling with all your heart, stopping your speculation about His majesty.  For he who would pry into the majesty of God is overcome by His glory.  I speak from experience and know what I am saying."  -- Martin Luther, What Luther Says, #4389

"The theology which is speculative, which forgetting itself, soars upward into matters divine, is looking for the fall of Satan -- and finds it, too."
 -- ibid, #4401

Communication

"My ideas are only as good as my ability to share them with somebody else."  -- young female student of architecture on This Old House TV show (sorry, I was in the other room when I heard this, and I do not know her name)

My husband says,

"Every five years, the world re-invents itself."
