There are three conversions necessary (for the Christian life): the conversion of the heart, the mind, and the purse.
Martin Luther
Image
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther
Image
Our suffering is not worthy the name of suffering. When I consider my crosses, tribulations, and temptations, I shame myself almost to death, thinking what are they in comparison of the sufferings of my blessed Savior Christ Jesus.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
Image
Those who lapse from the Gospel to the Law are no better off than those who lapse from grace to idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
Farewell unhappy, hopeless, blasphemous Rome! The Wrath of God has come upon you, as you deserve. We cared for Babylon, and she is not healed let us then leave her, that she may become the habitation of dragons, spectres, and witches.
Martin Luther
Image
My heart, which is so full to overflowing, has often been solaced and refreshed by music when sick and weary.
Martin Luther
Image
In the midst of the affliction He counsels, strengthens confirms, nourishes, and favors us.... More over, when we have repented, He instantly remits the sins as well as the punishments. In the same manner parents ought to handle their children.
Martin Luther
Image
Truly speech has wonderful strength and power, that through a mere word, proceeding out of the mouth of a poor human creature, the devil, that so proud and powerful spirit, should be driven away, shamed and confounded.
Martin Luther
Image
[The Psalms are] a Little Bible, wherein everything contained in the entire Bible is beautifully and briefly comprehended.
Martin Luther
Image
Can he who understands not God's word, understand God's works?
Martin Luther
Image
The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands
Martin Luther
Image
It is God who creates, effects, and preserves all things through his almighty.
Martin Luther
Image
The state of matrimony is the chief in the world after religion but people shun it because of its inconveniences, like one who, running out of the rain, falls into the river.
Martin Luther
Image
Those with prodigious skill in music are better suited for all things.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord God, I thank Thee that Thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. I have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. Thou hast given me wife and children, whom I now restore to Thee. Lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as Thou hast me.
Martin Luther
Image
While we contemplate in all creatures, as in a mirror, those immense riches of His wisdom, justice, goodness and power, we should not meerly run them over cursorily, and, so to speak, with a fleeting glance, but we should ponder them at length, turn them over in our mind seriously and faithfully and recollect them repeatedly.
Martin Luther
Image
The works of the righteous would be mortal sins if they would not be feared as mortal sins by the righteous themselves out of pious fear of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any.
Martin Luther
Image
Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?
