Let it be called "coming" when one preaches aright; the approaching is spiritual, and through the Word-upon the ears of his hearers, the preacher comes at last into the sheepfold-the heart of believers. Christ says that the shepherd must enter by the door; that is, preach nothing but Christ, for Christ is the door into the sheepfold. —Martin Luther, Assorted Sermons, "Of the Office of Preaching" Pulling It Together      What has the Spirit of God laid upon your heart? Tell it! What have you learned about God in his word? Speak! What did the preacher proclaim that moved your soul? Move another's. Let your world be astounded that God has made the deaf and mute one hear and speak. (Mark 7:37) Daily Reform © Mark E. Ryman
