Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted September 20, 2017 Moderators Posted September 20, 2017 "Even if the Last Day were tomorrow, today I would plant an apple tree." The above statement is attributed to a religious leader who is probably known to every person reading in this forum. Who was that person? Quote Gregory
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted September 20, 2017 Members Posted September 20, 2017 heard that long ago... Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?

LifeHiscost Posted September 20, 2017 Posted September 20, 2017 https://calvinistinternational.com/2013/05/06/luthers-apocryphal-apple-tree/ It’s unfortunate that apparently Luther didn’t utter the apocryphal quote, “If I knew the world was to end tomorrow, I would still plant an apple tree today.” Despite efforts to the contrary, as Scott Hendrix relates, “So far, however, this statement has not been found in his writings. Scholars believe it originated in the German Confessing Church, which used it to inspire hope and perseverance during its opposition to the Nazi dictatorship.” od is Love!~Jesus saves!
