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.

It is the most ungodly and dangerous business to abandon the certain and revealed will of God in order to search in to the hidden mysteries of God.
Martin Luther

Martin Luther

The devil is God's ape!
Martin Luther

Martin Luther
Image
Your God is altogether too human.
Martin Luther
Image
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin Luther
Image
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
Martin Luther
Image
I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.
Martin Luther
Image
The fool will upset the whole science of astronomy.
Martin Luther
Image
Heretics cannot themselves appear good unless they depict the Church as evil, false, and mendacious. They alone wish to be esteemed as the good, but the Church must be made to appear evil in every respect.
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
[It is] essentially wholesome and necessary, for a Christian to know, whether or not the will does any thing in those things which pertain unto Salvation. Nay, let me tell you, this is the very hinge upon which our discussion turns. It is the very heart of the subject
