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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right. Next to faith this is the highest art - to be content with the calling in which God has placed you.
Martin Luther
Image
The best way to drive out the devil, if he will not yield to texts of Scripture, is to jeer and flout him, for he cannot bear scorn.
Martin Luther
Image
Like the early Christians, we must move into a sometime hostile world armed with the revolutionary gospel of Jesus Christ. With this powerful gospel we shall boldly challenge the status quo.
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
Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds the graves restore, The dead which they contained before Prepare, my soul, to meet Him!
Martin Luther
Image
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther
Image
I would rather obey than work miracles.
Martin Luther
Image
Grace was not given to heal the spiritually sick but to decorate spiritual heroes!
Martin Luther
Image
Christ wants to slay reason and subdue the arrogance of the Jews.
Martin Luther
Image
One thing, and only one thing, is necessary for Christian life, righteousness, and freedom. That one thing is the most holy Word of God, the gospel of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.
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
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
Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
Martin Luther
Image
He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.
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
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is free and independent in every respect, a bond servant to none. A Christian is a dutiful servant in every respect, owing a duty to everyone.
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
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
