Man is man because he is free to operate within a framework of his destiny. He is free to deliberate, to make decisions, and to choose between alternatives.

It is the duty of a prudent minister of God to hold his ministry in honor and to see to it that it is respected by those who are in his charge.

Martin Luther

For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.
