Martin Luther
Image
While we contemplate in all creatures, as in a mirror, those immense riches of His wisdom, justice, goodness and power, we should not meerly run them over cursorily, and, so to speak, with a fleeting glance, but we should ponder them at length, turn them over in our mind seriously and faithfully and recollect them repeatedly.

He who hears this name [God] from a Jew must inform the authorities, or else throw sow dung at him when he sees him and chase him away.
Martin Luther
Image
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther
Image
Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let them nest in our hair.
Martin Luther
Image
Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you
Martin Luther
Image
Women should remain at home, sit still, keep house, and bear and bring up children...If a woman grows weary and, at last, dies from childbearing, it matters not. Let her die from bearing - she is there to do it.
Martin Luther
Image
Everything is from God himself, both commandment and fulfillment. He alone commands he alone fulfills.
Martin Luther
Image
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
Martin Luther
Image
Here I stand I can do no other.
Martin Luther
