Congratulations on your wedding
A few words to the bride and groom:
Finally, this has been found,
what should now belong together.
It is the bride and groom,
We wish him all the best.
You two shall be inseparable,
Slowly to anger,
slowly becoming an argument.
He holds his hand over you,
the God who never leaves you alone.
He will always carry you both,
even if suffering overwhelms you,
and even when you look back you will say:
It is God who loves and holds us.
Finally, I wanted to say:
that God's blessing be with you.
Because you simply have to have this,
No matter which fork in the road you are at.
Fear of God
The fear of God is a source.
Life bubbles from it.
All wisdom that really counts
begins to recognize
that God rules over everything
and in response to honor him.
Because it does not mean fear of God,
but to respect him and his will.
Yes, God is holy and completely pure.
We, humans are sinners
and cannot get to him.
But God's mercy found a way to save us.
Because Jesus died, everyone finds forgiveness,
who accepts them from him.
There are so many reasons to be God fearing and honor God with this lifestyle.
To worship and serve Him with voice, heart and life:
That is the reason why we live.
For the fear of God is a source
from which life springs
and all wisdom begins with
To fear God.

Praise of the Creator
Full of beauty and great splendor
is creation.
The variety of colors and shapes of flowers
is almost unspeakably large.
They shine towards us with their flowers
and invite you to marvel.
The diversity of the animal world also knows no bounds. Large and small,
They are expressed in all possible variations.
They live on land, in water and in the air.
One can only marvel at what has been created
and how wonderfully it was arranged.
Anyone who cannot believe in a Creator
he is blind in both eyes.
For he himself is also a work of creation and
thereby leading his own train of thought into the absurd.
Whoever has recognized the Creator,
He will praise him all his life
and beyond that into eternity.

You take away the worries
You rule the whole world.
Everything is subject to you.
Nothing escapes you.
It's all in your hands.
Take my worries away.
You put them under the cross
and give me your peace.
To you I turn,
wherever I am.
My yesterday, my today
and my morning;
they belong to you.
They are inscribed in your hands.
You guide them with a wise hand and confidence.
I don't need
to fear the future.
Take my worries away
and don't let them return.
They are in good hands with you.
You are in good hands forever.
Let me trust you forever.

For the freedom
Many people think that freedom consists in
to do and leave whatever you want.
But true freedom has sensible limits,
which are not meant to restrict but to protect.
Freedom without limits is limitless unfreedom.
Our freedom consists in
to decide for or against God.
Only freedom of belief takes us further.
A liberated life is only possible if you follow Jesus with all your heart,
according to his commandments, lives in his love.
Freedom of belief means being free,
from the values of the zeitgeist,
and leave ties behind.
Whoever lives without God knows the freedom of illusion,
the freedom of a short life,
which quickly disappears like a soap bubble.
Freedom of faith shows new land,
wide and free.
The spirit sets free, while desire enslaves.
If the Son sets us free, then we are truly free.
Lord, lead the prisoners to freedom.

Turn around, Germany
You were once called Christian
and even now you are in name,
but in reality you have moved very far away from God.
Germany, I mourn for you,
for you have committed a great sin.
You would rather enjoy life,
Profit was more important to you than moral values,
instead of relying on God, you built on prosperity,
but that too will be taken from you if you do not repent.
Look where it has brought you!
Your economic managers are lining their own pockets.
Your officials and politicians accept bribes.
Your government promises this today,
tomorrow this and in the end do something completely different.
In a panic, they try to lead you out of the crisis and then drag you deeper into it with their actions.
Not a few of your theologians relativize God’s Word,
the only thing that can save you,
and call evil good and good evil.
There is confusion in all levels of society,
especially in the area of sexuality.
Everything is twisted and whoever denounces evil,
is considered old-fashioned and eccentric.
Your young people are looking for self-chosen idols that they can adore and worship,
who are just as broken inside as they are.
Your Christians know where to go,
and yet they do far too little about it.
Not only is your economy collapsing, not only is your unemployment figures rising,
No, your families are also falling apart more and more,
and your divorce rates are constantly rising.
Your people flee from reality into addictions, occultism and Far Eastern religions.
You throw your unborn children into the bloodthirsty jaws of death.
When will you realize that it could only have come to this because you turned away from God,
who alone can give true life.
You do not recognize the signs of the times
and it will get worse,
if you don't turn back.
Germany, I mourn for you.
But if you repent, God will
show mercy to you again.

Dry land
The sun is blazing down.
There is almost no water.
Cracks run through the dry ground. Dried-up trees stand here and there.
These temperatures are unbearable.
The area is desolate and empty.
Only now and then a drop falls from the sky,
a drop in the ocean.
The country needs water.
Germany needs water.
Living water.
Without God our country will perish.
Without God nothing can be saved.
Lord, send streams of living water upon us.
Refresh this parched land.
Send the power of the Holy Spirit.
That from this desert a sea of flowers;
becomes a water-rich garden.
Lord, bless Germany.

Castle of Heaven
You are my strong castle,
which protects me from all attacks of the enemies.
You are a fortified fortress,
which cannot be overcome by evil.
My God, my strength,
my ray of hope that I trust in.
Your walls protect me
like a city before armies.
Your angels watch over me.
You are present in all situations in life.
Every storm passes because you are my rock.
My Messiah, my Savior,
my Savior, mighty hero and Prince of Peace.
May evil shoot arrows at me,
your shield blocks all attacks.
Your word is the only weapon in battle.
Your armor protects me
in the battle of life.
And when my last hour has struck, I will come home to you; I will come home to you:
Into the castle of heaven.

The rock that carries me
Even when the waves are high,
yet it cannot frighten the rock,
on which I build my house.
In storm and wind Jesus stands firm,
the gentleman,
which is my foundation for all time.
What should frighten me,
if I know you are by my side?
Where should I turn,
than to you?
There is a constant leadership
up into the sky,
which is always open for me.
You hear prayer in all situations of life.
My rock let others find you,
who drift aimlessly in the ocean of life,
before they finally capsize
and fall victim to sharks.
This rock carries me
home to you for eternity.

Return to God
We live in a world where suffering, war and terror reign.
People die who were no more guilty than others.
It is a time when people turn away from God and seek self-realization.
And when suffering strikes them, they are unprepared.
There is much suffering in our time:
What do we learn from this?
The only right consequence is to turn to God.
God who can give everything a person needs.
He who loves every person; uncompromising, incomparable.
The best thing a person can do is to turn to God.

New prayer for peace
With sadness I remember the brutal war,
which the Russian tyrant is waging against Ukraine.
How much suffering did criminals like Hitler, Stalin and Putin
brought into this world?
They senselessly sacrifice their soldiers and the civilians of other peoples.
Terror is their method to enforce their will.
Lord, have mercy.
See the suffering of the traumatized people in Ukraine.
Step in and create justice.
Overthrow tyrants from their thrones and install just rulers.
Give politicians wisdom on how to help Ukraine.
Grant that no world war arises.
Restore peace.
But nothing slips out of your hand.
People find a connection to you in war.
You perform miracles in the midst of suffering.
Thank you for everything you do.
Give the Ukrainians peace again.
Break weapons asunder and grant reconciliation.
Let Putin's house of lies collapse.
Repel the missiles and tanks.
But your peace is more than the peace between nations,
but reconciliation with you.
Let those who suffer find your peace.
He is greater than all reason.
In memory of the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine,
which began one year ago today.

Severed roots
Return to your roots,
formerly Christian West!
Are you not aware
that you yourself are the cause of your crisis.
You have turned away from the source of life
and want to cast off what you call shackles.
You have cut off your own Christian roots
and you wonder why you wither.
You complain about greedy bankers and corrupt politicians,
but they only reflect that,
which is already common practice in society.
You abhor sexual crimes
and yet you yourself have turned every sexual morality into its opposite.
You are outraged by war criminals
and yet allows countless innocent children to be murdered by abortion doctors.
Return to your roots,
to what was once your center.
Return to the truth of the Bible,
which was once the foundation of the Reformation.
Change your mind and return to clear values!
To the source of life that also quenches your thirst.
And if you ignore these warnings,
it will happen to you like every tree,
who severed his roots,
withered and perished,
as if it were just a dream.
