The Devil Never Stops Cooking And Brewing The Two Kingdoms Into Each Other

In light of the the House Committee On Oversight And Government Reform meeting yesterday, I thought that the following quote from Martin Luther on the Two Kingdoms is most appropriate.  A special thank you to Eric Ekong for posting the following quote on Facebook.

"Constantly I must pound in and squeeze in and drive in and wedge in this difference between the two kingdoms, even though it is written and said so often that it becomes tedious. The devil never stops cooking and brewing these two kingdoms into each other. In the devil’s name the secular leaders always want to be Christ's master and teach Him how He should run His church and spiritual government. Similarly, the false clerics and schismatic spirits always want to be the masters, though not in God’s name, and to teach people how to organize the secular government. Thus the devil is indeed very busy on both sides, and he has much to do. May God hinder him, amen, if we deserve it!"
