Wait

"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." -- Is. 40:31

More than just words

"The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." -- John 6:63b

A Better Definition

"What is Christianity?  Christianity is the life and salvation God has given in and through Jesus Christ."  -- Martin Luther, Explanation of the Small Catechism

Good to talk about

"To occupy oneself with God's Word, talking about it and thinking about it, is also a most tremendous help against the devil, the world, the flesh, and all evil thought.  Psalm 1:2 calls those blessed who meditate on the Law of the Lord day and night."

-- Martin Luther, 1530 Preface to the Large Catechism

Communion

"Finally, why do you wish to go to the Sacrament?  That I may learn to believe that Christ, out of great love, died for my sin, and also learn from Him to love God and my neighbor."

-- Martin Luther, Christian Questions and Their Answers

Understanding

"What is the key to the correct understanding of the Bible?  Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, is the heart and center of Scripture and therefore the key to its true meaning."

"What basic distinction must we keep in mind in order to understand the Bible?  We must sharply distinguish between the Law and the Gospel in the Bible."

"What does God teach and do in the Gospel?  In the Gospel, the good news of our salvation in Jesus Christ, God gives forgiveness, faith, life, and the power to please him with good works."

-- Martin Luther, Explanation of the Small Catechism

Good Advice

"A Christian is a man who knows how to acquire without cheating, how to lose without regret, and how to give without hesitation." -- from WPBC bulletin

-- Well, I don't necessarily think that's the definition of a Christian ... but being able to acquire without cheating, lose without regret, and give without hesitation are certainly virtues that could grace a Christian's life.
