Quote

Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart he goes about with it night and day he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.

God may delay, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools.
Martin Luther
Image
None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.
Martin Luther
Image
In our sad condition our only consolation is the expectancy of another life. Here below all is incomprehensible.
Martin Luther
Image
In the bonds of Death He lay Who for our offence was slain But the Lord is risen to-day, Christ hath brought us life again, Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud, with cheerful voice, Hallelujah!
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
Exhort your household to learn [the Ten Commandments] word for word, that they should obey God…For if you teach and urge your families things will go forward.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever we make the most of is our God.
Martin Luther
Image
Let us keep to Christ, and cling to Him, and hang on Him, so that no power can remove us.
Martin Luther
Image
At night always carry in your heart something from Holy Scriptures to bed with you, meditate upon it like a ruminant animal, and go softly to sleep but this must not be too much, rather a little that may be well pondered and understood, that you may find a remnant of it in your mind when you rise in the morning.
Martin Luther
Image
No one would be happier than Luther to be commended by the testimony of the time that he had been neither slack nor deceitful in maintaining the course of truth, but had shown quite enough and even too much vehemence.
Martin Luther
Image
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
Martin Luther
Image
As long as there is poverty in this world, no man can be totally rich even if he has a billion dollars.
Martin Luther
Image
I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees.
Martin Luther
Image
Our Lord God doesn't do great things except by violence, as they say
Martin Luther
Image
Reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason, sense, and understanding, and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, It comes from a hand we love, and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil is God's ape!
Martin Luther
Image
We should die relying on grace alone
Martin Luther
Image
False preachers are worse than deflowerers of virgins.
