The gospel cannot be preached and heard enough, for it cannot be grasped well enough.
Martin Luther
Image
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
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
Superstition, idolatry, and hypocrisy have ample wages, but truth goes a begging.
Martin Luther
Image
To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.

Beer is made by men, wine by God.
Martin Luther
Image
The heart overflows with gladness, and leaps and dances for the joy it has found in God. In this experience the Holy Spirit is active, and has taught us in the flash of a moment the deep secret of joy. You will have as much joy and laughter in life as you have faith in God.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart he goes about with it night and day he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.
Martin Luther
Image
...Hope endures and overcomes misfortune and evil.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.
Martin Luther
Image
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.
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
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
In his life Christ is an example showing us how to live in his death he is a sacrifice satisfying our sins in his resurrection a conqueror in his ascension a king in his intercession a high priest.
Martin Luther
Image
A woman has no control over herself.
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
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
At the last, when we die, we have the dear angels for our escort on the way. They who can grasp the whole world in their hands can surely also guard our souls, that they make that last journey safely.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible for one man both to labor day and night to get a living, and at the same time give himself to the study of sacred learning as the preaching office requires.
