Our suffering is not worthy the name of suffering. When I consider my crosses, tribulations, and temptations, I shame myself almost to death, thinking what are they in comparison of the sufferings of my blessed Savior Christ Jesus.
Martin Luther
Image
When the gospel flourishes in the church, everything flourishes with it.
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.
