Image
Christ designed that the day of his coming should be hid from us, that being in suspense, we might be as it were upon the watch.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.
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
What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews.
Martin Luther
Image
Stubbornness should have been my middle name.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things.
Martin Luther
Image
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher should have the skill to teach the unlearned simply roundly, and plainly for teaching is of more importance than exhorting.
Martin Luther
Image
You may as well quit reading and hearing the Word of God, and give it to the devil, if you do not desire to live according to it.
Martin Luther
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Even if all the world were to combine forces, they could not bring about the conception of a single child in any woman's womb nor cause it to be born that is wholly the work of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I have done nothing the Word has done and accomplished everything.... I let the Word do its work!
Martin Luther
Image
The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.
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
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
As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot believe that my illness is natural. I suspect Satan, and therefore I am the more inclined to take it lightly.
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
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
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
