No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things.
Martin Luther
Image
When schools flourish, all flourishes.
Martin Luther

Strange, though I am saved from sin, I am not saved from sinning.
Martin Luther
Image
When I was abandoned by everybody, in my greatest weakness, trembling and afraid of death, when I was persecuted by this wicked world, then I often felt most surely the divine power in this name, Jesus Christ... So, by God's grace, I will live and die for that name.
Martin Luther

One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther
Image
How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
Martin Luther
Image
He who loses sight of the word of God, falls into despair the voice of heaven no longer sustains him he follows only the disorderly tendency of his heart.
Martin Luther
Image
The spiritual rest, which God particularly intends in this Commandment, is this: that we not only cease from our labor and trade, but much more, that we let God alone work in us and that we do nothing of our own with all our powers.
Martin Luther
Image
There are only two days on my calendar... today and the day of judgment
Martin Luther
Image
I'd rather see heaven crash from the skies than one grain of God's truth die.
Martin Luther
Image
Faith cannot be inherited or gained by being baptized into a Church. Faith is a matter between the individual and God.
Martin Luther
Image
Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic.
Martin Luther
Image
Your thoughts of God are too human
Martin Luther
Image
He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
Image
I refuse to accept the idea that man is mere flotsam and jetsam in the river of life, unable to influence the unfolding events which surround him. I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
I was increasingly compelled to see the war as an enemy of the poor and to attack it as such.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot forbid a person to marry several wives, for it does not contradict Scripture.
Martin Luther
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
Martin Luther
