If a man serves not God only, then surely he serves the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
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

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore we Christians, in turn, are obliged not to tolerate their wanton and conscious blasphemy.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
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
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

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.
