Quote

No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.

Martin Luther

God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible to separate works from faith- yea, just as impossible as to separate burning and shining from fire.
Martin Luther
Image
Unthankfulness is theft.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
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
Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever.
Martin Luther
Image
God can be found only in suffering and the cross.
Martin Luther
Image
If any earthly institution or custom conflicts with God's will, it is your Christian duty to oppose it. You must never allow the transitory, evanescent demands of man-made institutions to take precedence over the eternal demands of the Almighty God.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.
Martin Luther
Image
The will of man without grace is not free, but is enslaved, and that too with its own consent.
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
Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
Martin Luther
Image
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Martin Luther
Image
People give ear to an upstart astrologer [Copernicus]...this fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy
Martin Luther
Image
Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God.
Martin Luther
Image
Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
If you preach the gospel in all aspects with the exception of the issues which deal specifically with your time, you are not preaching the gospel at all.
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
There is no gown or garment that worse becomes a woman than when she will be wise.
Martin Luther
Image
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
Martin Luther
