Quote

Music is one of the fairest and most glorious gifts of God, to which Satan is a bitter enemy for it removes from the heart the weight of sorrow, and the fascination of evil thoughts.

You should point to the whole man Jesus and say, That is God.
Martin Luther
Image
Human nature is like a drunk peasant. Lift him into the saddle on one side, over he topples on the other side.
Martin Luther
Image
Our Lord God doesn't do great things except by violence, as they say
Martin Luther
Image
A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.
Martin Luther
Image
How rich a God our God is! He gives enough, but we don't notice it. He gave the whole world to Adam, but this was nothing in Adam's eyes he was concerned about one tree and had to ask why God had forbidden him to eat it.
Martin Luther
Image
It is the duty of a prudent minister of God to hold his ministry in honor and to see to it that it is respected by those who are in his charge. Moreoever, it is the duty of a faithful minister not to exceed his powers and not to abuse his office in pride, but, rather, to administer it for the benefit of his subjects.
Martin Luther
Image
It is God who creates, effects, and preserves all things through his almighty.
Martin Luther
Image
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Martin Luther
Image
A theologian is born by living, nay dying and being damned, not by thinking, reading, or speculating.
Martin Luther
Image
Music must be supported by the king and the princes, for the maintenance of the arts is their duty no less than the maintenance of the laws.
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
The works of the righteous would be mortal sins if they would not be feared as mortal sins by the righteous themselves out of pious fear of God.
Martin Luther
Image
Our bodies are always exposed to Satan. The maladies I suffer are not natural, but Devil's spells.
Martin Luther
Image
First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.
Martin Luther
Image
If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don't want to go there.
Martin Luther
Image
The fruit does not make the tree good or bad but the tree itself is what determines the nature of the fruit. In the same way, a person first must be good or bad before doing a good or bad work.
Martin Luther
Image
The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.
Martin Luther
Image
There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.
Martin Luther
Image
No man ought to lay a cross upon himself, or to adopt tribulation, as is done in popedom but if a cross or tribulation come upon him, then let him suffer it patiently, and know that it is good and profitable for him.
Martin Luther
