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

Martin Luther
Image

Scripture is the manger in which we find the Christ child.
Martin Luther
Image
A man cannot do good before he is made good.
Martin Luther

If we esteem them too highly, good works can become the greatest idolatry.
Martin Luther
Image
Drive them [Jews] like mad dogs from our land... let not one of them live.
Martin Luther
Image
What are the things we should pray for? First, our personal troubles...The greatest trouble we can ever know is thinking that we have no trouble for we can become hard-hearted and insensible to what is inside of us.
Martin Luther
Image
If God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
