Quote

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

I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
Twas a special gift of God that speech was given to mankind for through the Word, and not by force, wisdom governs.
