Quote

I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.

The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
Martin Luther
Image
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther
Image
When some say that good works are forbidden when we preach faith alone, it is as if I said to a sick man: If you had health, you would have the use of all your limbs but without health, the works of all your limbs are nothing and he wanted to infer that I had forbidden the works of all his limbs.
Martin Luther

The organ in the worship service is a sign of Baal.
Martin Luther
Image
So tenaciously should we cling to the world revealed by the Gospel, that were I to see all the Angels of Heaven coming down to me to tell me something different, not only would I not be tempted to doubt a single syllable, but I would shut my eyes and stop my ears, for they would not deserve to be either seen or heard.
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
The less I pray, the harder it gets the more I pray, the better it goes.
Martin Luther
Image
The dog is the most faithful of animals and would be much esteemed were it not so common. Our Lord God has made His greatest gifts the commonest.
Martin Luther
Image
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
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
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
Image
The will is a beast of burden. If God mounts it, it wishes and goes as God wills if Satan mounts it, it wishes and goes as Satan wills Nor can it choose its rider... the riders contend for its possession.
Martin Luther
Image
An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.
Martin Luther
Image
Cujus region, ejus rligio (Whoever's reign, his religion) ... He who owns the country owns the Church, and he that makes your laws for you has the right to make your religion for you.
Martin Luther
Image
It is as if a wolf devoured a sheep and the sheep were so powerful that it transformed the wolf and turned him into a sheep. So, when we eat Christ's flesh physically and spiritually, the food is so powerful that it transforms us.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing good ever comes of violence.
Martin Luther
Image
Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?
Martin Luther
Image
Through faith we are restored to paradise and created anew. We have no need of works in order to be righteous however, in order to avoid idleness and so that the body might be cared for an disciplined, works are done freely to please God.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not love sinners because they are attractive sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.
Martin Luther

We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
Martin Luther
