THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION:  Thoughts from Martin Luther

“O Lord my God, if I have done this . . . if I have repaid my friend with evil or plundered my enemy without cause . . . lay my glory in the dust.” Psalm 7:3-5

“For this is the Christian religion, to be just to all without a selection according to the person & physical partiality . . . And this is what the word ‘justice’ means, namely, that one who is just is the same toward all without regard for or discrimination of persons.”

Martin Luther Psalm by Psalm, Concordia Publishing House, 2017.

MY MEDITATION

I have to constantly remind myself that those with whom I disagree for whatever reason--politics, religion, whatever!--are not my real enemies. My real, sworn enemy is Satan.
