Quote

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.

I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
Martin Luther
Image
In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offence was slain But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
Martin Luther
Image
All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.
Martin Luther
Image
If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
If men only believe enough in Christ they can commit adultery and murder a thousand times a day without periling their salvation.
Martin Luther
Image
Being by his faith replaced afresh in paradise and created anew, he (the believer)does not need works for his justification, but that he may not be idle, but that he may exercise his own body and preserve it. His works are to be done freely, with the sole object of pleasing God.
Martin Luther
Image
The multitude of books is a great evil. There is no limit to this fever for writing every one must be an author some out of vanity, to acquire celebrity and raise up a name, others for the sake of mere gain.
Martin Luther
Image
If Church history teaches us anything, it is that we cannot afford to be a vacillating Church. We minister to a people who are in great need of hearing truth, we dare not make any attempt to soft pedal that glorious truth.
Martin Luther
Image
If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
Image
The works of the righteous would be mortal sins if they would not be feared as mortal sins by the righteous themselves out of pious fear of God.
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
Faith ever says, If Thou wilt, not If Thou canst.
Martin Luther
Image
When God's righteousness is mentioned in the gospel, it is God's action of declaring righteous the unrighteous sinner who has faith in Jesus Christ. The righteousness by which a person is justified (declared righteous) is not his own but that of another, Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
Martin Luther
Image
Many of the ugly pages of American history have been obscured and forgotten
Martin Luther
Image
It seems to me that the most delightful walk of life is to be found in a household of moderate means, to live there with an obliging spouse and to be satisfied with little.
Martin Luther
Image
We should die relying on grace alone
Martin Luther
Image
Can he who understands not God's word, understand God's works?
Martin Luther
Image
One drop of Christ's blood is worth more than heaven and earth.
Martin Luther
Image
If the peasants are in open rebellion, then they are outside the law of God. Therefore let all who are able slash, strike down, and kill (those who rebel) openly and secretly, remembering that there can be nothing more venomous, harmful, or devilish than a rebel. It is exactly like killing a mad dog.
Martin Luther
