World, death, devil, hell, away and leave me in peace! You have no hold on me. If you will not let me live, then I will die. But you won't succeed in that. Chop my head off, and it won't harm me. I have a God who will give me a new one.
Martin Luther

The mystery of the humanity of Christ, that he sunk himself into our flesh, is beyond all human understanding.
Martin Luther

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has it never comes to the aid of spiritual things, but more frequently than not struggles against the divine Word, treating with contempt all that emanates from God.
Martin Luther

Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.
Martin Luther
Image
We may search long to find where God is, but we shall find Him in those who keep the words of Christ. For the Lord Christ saith, If any man love me, he will keep my words and we will make our abode with him.

The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
