Image
Indeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
Martin Luther
Image
And though this world with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
Martin Luther
Image
Sleep is a most useful and most salutary operation of nature. Scarcely any minor annoyance angers me more than the being suddenly awakened out of a pleasant slumber. I understand that in Italy they torture poor people by depriving them of sleep. `Tis a torture that cannot long be endured.
Martin Luther
Image
A person whodoes not regard music as a marvelous creation of God, must be a clodhopper indeed and does not deserve to be called a human being he should be permitted to hear nothing but the braying of asses and the grunting of hogs.
Martin Luther
Image
In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: there are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
God's entire divine nature is wholly and entirely in all creatures, more deeply, more inwardly, more present than the creature is to itself.
Martin Luther
Image
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.
Martin Luther
Image
Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
Martin Luther
Image
[The Psalms are] a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended.
Martin Luther
Image
I must remain a child and pupil of the Catechism, and am glad so to remain.
Martin Luther
Image
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
When we hear that Christ was made a curse for us, let us believe it with joy and assurance. By faith Christ changes places with us. He gets our sins, we get His holiness.
Martin Luther
Image
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us not lose the Bible, but with diligence, in fear and invocation of God, read and preach it. While that remains and flourishes, all prospers with the state 'tis head and empress of all arts and faculties. Let but divinity fall, and I would not give a straw for the rest.
Martin Luther
Image
If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day. I have so much business I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
