150 Quotes to Celebrate 150 Years of God’s Unchanging Grace in Christ
I take one part after another and free myself as much as possible from distraction in order to pray. I divide each commandment into four parts, thereby fashioning a garland of four strands. That is, I think of each commandment as, first, instruction, which is really what it is intended to be, and consider what the Lord God demands of me so earnestly. Second, I turn it into a thanksgiving; third, a confession, and fourth, a prayer.”
(Pless, Praying Luther’s Small Catechism, p. 12, CPH 2016)

The Fourth Commandment
Honor your father and your mother.
What does this mean?

150 Quotes to Celebrate 150 Years of God’s Unchanging Grace in Christ
“By ancient custom the church deliberately vests her pastors in clothing which hides their personal identity. Yet at the same time liturgical vestments identify pastors as authorized servants of God among His people. A pastor might appear and sound impersonal in the liturgy, but there is nothing more personal than what he does there. For pastors are spokesmen for God; stewards of God’s holy mysteries proclaimed and dispensed among His people.”
(Senkbeil, Dying to Live, CPH p. 127).
