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

God may delay, but He always comes.
Martin Luther

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired.

God is a blank sheet upon which nothing is found but what you yourself have written.

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

Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
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

The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.
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
Image
Good works are the seals and proofs of faith for even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.
Martin Luther
Image
Isaiah calls the Church barren because her children are born without effort by the Word of faith through the Spirit of God. It is a matter of birth, not of exertion.
Martin Luther
Image
In a delightful garden, sowing, planting or digging are not hardship but are done with a zeal and a certain pleasure.
Martin Luther

What will you do in the mundane days of faithfulness?
Martin Luther

Faith is a free surrenderand a joyous wager on the unseen, unknown, untested goodness of God.
