Martin Luther on What You Treasure

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , , , | Posted On Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 9:00 AM


“Take a look at your own heart, and you will soon find out what has stuck to it and where your treasure is. It is easy to determine whether hearing the Word of God, living according to it, and achieving such a life gives you as much enjoyment and calls forth as much diligence from you as does accumulating and saving money and property.”
Martin Luther

Jonathan Edwards on Enjoyment of God

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Friday, August 20, 2010 at 9:00 AM

"The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams. But God is the ocean."
Jonathan Edwards
