Let him who has laid his hand on the plow not look back! Press on to the
goal! Press on to Jesus Christ! The one who gains Christ will rise with
him from the dead on the youngest day. . . . Remember Lot's wife! When
she looked back she was punished by God and became a pillar of salt. Let
this be your example, you who have chosen the Way. Do not turn around!
Do not look back! Declare yourselves for Christ and go ahead! If you
overcome you will live with him in eternal joy!

-- Hans Betz, Ausbund, 111:11-12
