This is the reason why our Theology is certain: because it seizes us from ourselves and places us outside ourselves.
Martin Luther
Image
I believe that the devil has destroyed many good books of the church, as, aforetime, he killed and crushed many holy persons, the memory of whom has now passed away but the Bible he was fain to leave subsisting.
Martin Luther

Nothing is more sweet than harmony in marriage, and nothing more distressing than dissension.
Martin Luther

But then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!
Martin Luther

This doctrine (justification) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.
Martin Luther
Image
God is not a God of sadness, death, etc., but the devil is. Christ is a God of joy, and so the Scriptures often say that we should rejoice ... A Christian should and must be a cheerful person.
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
Martin Luther
Image
I put the Scriptures above all the sayings of the fathers, angels, men and devils. Here I take my stand.
Martin Luther
Image
For God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, he is behind you and before you. Do you think he is sleeping on a pillow in heaven? He is watching over you and protecting you.
Martin Luther

The Holy Ghost must here be our only master and tutor.
Martin Luther

Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther
Image
Who waits until circumstances completely favor his undertaking, will never accomplish anything.
Martin Luther

No man should be alone when he opposes Satan. The Church and the ministry of the Word were instituted for this purpose, that hands may be joined together and one may help another.
