More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
Martin Luther
Image
Isaiah calls the Church barren because her children are born without effort by the Word of faith through the Spirit of God. It is a matter of birth, not of exertion.
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing.
Martin Luther
Image
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
Martin Luther
Image
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever.
Martin Luther
Image
The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
Martin Luther
Image
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
Image
The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
Image
If Church history teaches us anything, it is that we cannot afford to be a vacillating Church. We minister to a people who are in great need of hearing truth, we dare not make any attempt to soft pedal that glorious truth.
Martin Luther
Image
Many demons are in woods, in waters, in wildernesses, and in dark poolly places ready to hurt...people.
Martin Luther
Image
Of all deadly sins, this is the most deadly, namely, that any one should think he is not guilty of a damnable and deadly sin before God.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
Martin Luther
Image
Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.
Martin Luther
Image
God created Adam lord of all living creatures, but Eve spoiled it all.
Martin Luther
Image
We refuse to have our conscience bound by any work or law, so that by doing this or that we should be righteous, or leaving this or that undone we should be damned.
Martin Luther
Image
For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.
Martin Luther
Image
The spiritual rest, which God particularly intends in this Commandment, is this: that we not only cease from our labor and trade, but much more, that we let God alone work in us and that we do nothing of our own with all our powers.
Martin Luther
