More From Martin Luther

I would never call a neighbor an enemy. but i would request the neighbor to be a good neighbor, to see that the neighbor's interest is a stable prosperous neighbor, a neighbor that is doing well.
Enemy Neighbor Interest
It is easier to love humanity as a whole than to love one's neighbor. ... some of the worst tyrannies of our day genuinely are "vowed" to the service of mankind, yet can function only by pitting neighbor against neighbor. the all-seeing eye of a totalitarian regime is usually the watchful eye of the next-door neighbor. in a communist state love of neighbor may be classed as counter-revolutionary.
Eye Doors Humanity
I need a good book i need a good story. i need a good book. the kind that explodes off the shelf. i need some good writing, alive and exciting, to contemplate all by myself. i need a good novel, i need a good read. i probably need two or three. i need a good tale of love and betrayal or perhaps an adventure at sea. i need a good saga. i need a good yarn. a momentous and mightily or slight one. but with thousands and thousands and thousands of books, i need someone to tell me the right one. -john lithgow
Betrayal Book Writing
What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood, a beautiful day for a neighbor. would you be mine? could you be mine?... it's a neighborly day in this beauty wood, a neighborly day for a beauty. would you be mine? could you be mine?... i've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. i've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you. so, let's make the most of this beautiful day. since we're together we might as well say: would you be mine? could you be mine? won't you be my neighbor? won't you please, won't you please? please won't you be my neighbor?
Beautiful Together Might
O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! it is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. it does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. but he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. he gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

Once more, i am watching the most powerful men in the kingdom bring their power to bear on a woman who has done nothing worse than live to the beat of her own heart, see with her own eyes; but this is not their tempo nor their vision and they cannot tolerate any other.
Powerful Heart Eye
Let our hearts admit, “i am poor and weak. satan is too subtle, too cunning, too powerful; he watches constantly for advantages over my soul. the world presses in upon me with all sorts of pressures, pleas, and pretences. my own corruption is violent, tumultuous, enticing, and entangling. as it conceives sin, it wars within me and against me. occasions and opportunities for temptation are innumerable. no wonder i do not know how deeply involved i have been with sin. therefore, on god alone will i rely for my keeping. i will continually look to him.
