I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.
Martin Luther
Image

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

When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.
Martin Luther

The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.
Martin Luther
Image
Leave the ass burdened with laws behind in the valley. But your conscience, let it ascend with Isaac into the mountain.
Martin Luther

Whatever man loves, that is his god. For he carries it in his heart he goes about with it night and day he sleeps and wakes with it, be it what it may - wealth or self, pleasure or renown.
Martin Luther
Image
When God's righteousness is mentioned in the gospel, it is God's action of declaring righteous the unrighteous sinner who has faith in Jesus Christ. The righteousness by which a person is justified (declared righteous) is not his own but that of another, Christ.
Martin Luther
Image
For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.
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
Stubbornness should have been my middle name.
Martin Luther
Image
Let whatsoever will or can befall me, I will surely cleave by my sweet Savior Christ Jesus, for in Him am I baptized I can neither do nor know anything but only what He has taught me.
Martin Luther
Image
The true despisers of the world are the people who accept what God sends them, gratefully use all things when they have them, and gladly do without them if God takes them away
Martin Luther
Image
A good servant is a real godsend, but truly this is a rare bird in the land.
Martin Luther
Image
At Poltersberg, there is a lake similarly cursed. If you throw a stone into it, a dreadful storm immediately arises, and the whole neighboring district quakes to its centre. 'Tis the devils kept prisoner there.
Martin Luther

Prayer is a very precious medicine, one that certainly helps and never fails, if you will only use it.
