Here I Stand; I Can

At Sussen, The Devil Carried Off, Last Good Friday, Three Grooms Who Had Devoted Themselves To Him.

All Laws And Philosophy Merely Tell Us What Should Be Done, But They Do Not Provide The Strength To Do It.

This Is That Mystery Which Is Rich In Divine Grace Unto Sinners: Wherein By A Wonderful Exchange, Our Sins Are No Longer Ours But Christ's; And The Righteousness Of Christ Is Not Christ's But Ours. He Has Emptied Himself Of His Righteousness That He Might Clothe Us In It, And Fill Us With It: And He Has Taken Our Evils Upon Himself That He Might Deliver Us From Them.

There Is No Wisdom Save In Truth.

Whenever The Devil Harasses You, Seek The Company Of Men Or Drink More, Or Joke And Talk Nonsense, Or Do Some Other Merry Thing. Sometimes We Must Drink More, Sport, Recreate Ourselves, And Even Sin A Little To Spite The Devil, So That We Leave Him No Place For Troubling Our Consciences With Trifles. We Are Conquered If We Try Too Conscientiously Not To Sin At All. So When The Devil Says To You: Do Not Drink, Answer Him: I Will Drink, And Right Freely, Just Because You Tell Me Not To.
