A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
Martin Luther
Image
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Martin Luther

We believe that the very beginning and end of salvation, and the sum of Christianity, consists of faith in Christ, who by His blood alone, and not by any works of ours, has put away sin, and destroyed the power of death.
Martin Luther
Image
I often laugh at Satan, and there is nothing that makes him so angry as when I attack him to his face, and tell him that through God I am more than a match for him
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever wishes to be a Christian, let him pluck out the eyes of his reason.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord God, I thank Thee that Thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. I have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. Thou hast given me wife and children, whom I now restore to Thee. Lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as Thou hast me.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
Martin Luther
Image
Rest in the Lord wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, Be silent in God, and let Him mould thee. Keep still, and He will mould thee to the right shape.
Martin Luther
Image
If it were art to overcome heresy with fire, the executioners would be the most learned doctors on earth.
Martin Luther
Image
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not work salvation for fictitious sinners. Be a sinner and sin vigorously... Do not for a moment imagine that this life is the abiding place of justice sin must be committed.
Martin Luther
Image
Women should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children...If a woman grows weary and, at last, dies from childbearing, it matters not. Let her die from bearing - she is there to do it.
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
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
