You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther

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

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say

Great people and champions are special gifts of God, whom He gives and preserves they do their work, and achieve great actions, not with vain imaginations, or cold and sleepy cogitations, but by motion of God.

Martin Luther
Image
But the Jews are so hardened that they listen to nothing though overcome by testimonies they yield not an inch. It is a pernicious race, oppressing all men by their usury and rapine. If they give a prince or magistrate a thousand florins, they extort twenty thousand from the subjects in payment. We must ever keep on guard against them.
Martin Luther

Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has: it never comes to the aid of spiritual things.
Martin Luther

Martin Luther
Image
Lord God, I thank Thee that Thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. I have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. Thou hast given me wife and children, whom I now restore to Thee. Lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as Thou hast me.
Martin Luther
Image
Reason is the enemy of faith.
Martin Luther
Image
As for the demented, I hold it certain that all beings deprived of reason are thus afflicted only by the Devil.
Martin Luther
Image
In many countries there are particular places to which devils more especially resort. In Prussia there is an infinite number of evil spirits.
Martin Luther
Image
You have as much laughter as you have faith.
Martin Luther

Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.

Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
