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
We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.
Martin Luther
Image
God wants our conscience to be certain and sure that it is pleasing to Him. This cannot be done if the conscience is led by its own feelings, but only if it relies on the Word of God.
Martin Luther
Image
A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther
Image
It is impossible to separate works from faith- yea, just as impossible as to separate burning and shining from fire.
Martin Luther
Image
It is a miracle how God has so long preserved His Book! How great and glorious it is to have the Word of God!
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.
Martin Luther
Image
Indeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
Martin Luther
Image
Music is the 5th gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.
Martin Luther
Image
Feelings come, and feelings go, and feelings are deceiving. My warrant is the Word of God, naught else is worth believing.
Martin Luther
Image
The bible is the cradle that holds the Christ, without him it is nothing more than wood and straw.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Image
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
Martin Luther
Image
Holy Christendom has, in my judgment, no better teacher after the apostles than St. Augustine.
Martin Luther
Image
I have such hatred of divorce that I prefer bigamy to divorce. Anyway, I think we should see other people.
Martin Luther
Image
All which happens through the whole world happens through hope. No husbandman would sow a grain of corn if he did not hope it would spring up and bring forth the ear how much more we are helped on by hope in the eternal life.
Martin Luther
Image
Some will object that the Law is divine and holy. Let it be divine and holy. The Law has no right to tell me that I must be justified by it.
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.

People give ear to an upstart astrologer [Copernicus]...this fool wishes to reverse the entire science of astronomy
