Martin Luther
Image
Hereby we may understand that God, of His special grace, maketh the teachers of the gospel subject to the Cross, and to all kinds of afflicitons, for the salvation of themselves and of the people for otherwise they could by no means beat down this beast which is called vain-glory.

Martin Luther
Image
I have grounded my preaching upon the literal word he that pleases may follow me he that will not may stay.
Martin Luther

Christ wants to slay reason and subdue the arrogance of the Jews.
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
Let him who wants a true church cling to the Word by which everything is upheld.
Martin Luther
Image
A gospel that doesn't deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.
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
It seems to me that the most delightful walk of life is to be found in a household of moderate means, to live there with an obliging spouse and to be satisfied with little.

One learns more of Christ in being married and rearing children than in several lifetimes spent in study in a monastery.
