Quote

Faith, like light, should always be simple and unbending while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side, and bend to every necessity of our brethren.

Our Lord God doeth work like a printer who setteth the letters backwards we see and feel well his setting, but we shall see the print yonder - in the life to come.
Martin Luther
Image
I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without him.
Martin Luther
Image
The worship of God....should be free at table, in private rooms, downstairs, upstairs, at home, abroad, in all places, by all peoples, at all times
Martin Luther
Image
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
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
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.
Martin Luther
Image
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
Martin Luther
Image
The inner man cannot be forced to do out of his own free will, what he should do, except the grace of God change the heart and make it willing.
Martin Luther
Image
The true despisers of the world are the people who accept what God sends them, gratefully use all things when they have them, and gladly do without them if God takes them away
Martin Luther
Image
I believe that the devil has destroyed many good books of the church, as, aforetime, he killed and crushed many holy persons, the memory of whom has now passed away but the Bible he was fain to leave subsisting.
Martin Luther
Image
At night always carry in your heart something from Holy Scriptures to bed with you, meditate upon it like a ruminant animal, and go softly to sleep but this must not be too much, rather a little that may be well pondered and understood, that you may find a remnant of it in your mind when you rise in the morning.
Martin Luther
Image
Men are not made religious by performing certain actions which are externally good, but they must first have righteous principles, and then they will not fail to perform virtuous actions.
Martin Luther
Image
Sacred scripture tells us that Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and not the earth.
Martin Luther
Image
The mad mob does not ask how it could be better, only that it be different. And when it then becomes worse, it must change again. Thus they get bees for flies, and at last hornets for bees.
Martin Luther
Image
I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstacles, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires and to open and make straight paths. If I must have some failing let me rather speak the truth with too great sincerity than once to act the hypocrite and conceal the truth.
Martin Luther
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
Martin Luther
Image
After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
Christian living does not mean to be good but to become good not to be well, but to get well not being but becoming nor rest but training. We are not yet, but we shall be. It has not yet happened, but it is the way. Not everything shines and sparkles as yet, but everything is getting better.
Martin Luther
Image
I think that we've got to see that a riot is the language of the unheard. And, what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the economic plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years.
