Sometimes it is nice to have a bit of Luther polemik in the morning, just to get your heart started:Furthermore we note how seldom the Evangelists and Apostles make mention of the Eucharist, a fact that has led many to wish they had said more about it. On the other hand they ceaselessly emphasize, even to the point of weariness, the ministry of the Word. It is as if the Spirit had foreseen these coming abuses and errors of the shorn ones which would turn the heart from the Word of power and truth to that futile change of bread and wine, all through life clinging to these outward appearances while rejecting the marvelous light into which we have been called.
Martin Luther, Concerning the Ministry.
ahh...
Better 'n' coffee.
[H/T to Gordon Cheng for this one. Though of course, Luther was not an anti-sacramentarian - far from it...and neither am I.]
