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.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
When we hear that Christ was made a curse for us, let us believe it with joy and assurance. By faith Christ changes places with us. He gets our sins, we get His holiness.
Martin Luther
Image
I know that a Christian should be humble, but against the Pope I am going to be proud and say to him: You, Pope, I will not have you for my boss, for I am sure that my doctrine is divine.
Martin Luther
Image
We must not regard what or how the world esteems us, so we have the Word pure, and are certain of our doctrine.
Martin Luther
Image
Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
Martin Luther
Image
I have always loved music whoso has skill in this art, is of a good temperament, fitted for all things. We must teach music in schools a schoolmaster ought to have skill in music, or I would not regard him neither should we ordain young men as preachers, unless they have been well exercised in music
Martin Luther
Image
Love is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
Martin Luther
Image
Where faith is not continually kept in motion and exercised, it weakens and decreases, so that it must indeed vanish and yet we do not see nor feel this weakness ourselves, except in times of need and temptation, when unbelief rages too strongly and yet for that very reason faith must have temptations in which it may battle and grow.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
Martin Luther
Image
Of all deadly sins, this is the most deadly, namely, that any one should think he is not guilty of a damnable and deadly sin before God.
Martin Luther
Image
Without images we can neither think nor understand anything.
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
After theology I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.
Martin Luther
Image
If we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing on earth is so well-suited to make the sad merry, the merry sad, to give courage to the despairing, to make the proud humble, to lessen envy and hate, as music.
Martin Luther
Image
Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
Martin Luther
Image
We need not invite the Devil to our table he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.
Martin Luther
Image
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil and temptations also do give occasion unto us somewhat to learn and understand the Scriptures, by experience and practice. Without trials and temptations we should never understand anything thereof no, not although we diligently read and heard the same.
Martin Luther
Image
The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.
