The Holy Spirit is no Skeptic, & the things He has written in our hearts are not doubts or opinions, but assertions - surer & more certain than sense & life itself.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
The Holy Spirit has a way of His own to say much in few words.
Martin Luther
Image
True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of so fine a virtue.
Martin Luther
Image
It cannot, indeed, be denied, that a good man is more worthy of love than a bad one.
Martin Luther
Image
Grant that I may not pray alone with the mouth help me that I may pray from the depths of my heart.
Martin Luther
Image
An earthly kingdom cannot exist without inequality of persons. Some must be free, some serfs, some rulers, some subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
In many countries there are particular places to which devils more especially resort. In Prussia there is an infinite number of evil spirits.
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
Drive them [Jews] like mad dogs from our land... let not one of them live.
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
What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.
Martin Luther
Image
The less I pray, the harder it gets the more I pray, the better it goes.
Martin Luther
Image
The reproduction of mankind is a great marvel and mystery. Had God consulted me in the matter, I should have advised him to continue the generation of the species by fashioning them out of clay.
Martin Luther
Image
Every book is a great action and every great action is a book!
Martin Luther
Image
Each betrayal begins with trust.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther
Image
Astrology is framed by the devil, to the end people may be scared from entering into the state of matrimony, and from every divine and human office and calling.
Martin Luther
