Quote

When one is possessed with doubt, that though he call upon the Lord he cannot be heard, and that God has turned him heart from him, and is angry ... he must arm himself with God's Word, promising to hear him.

A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
Martin Luther

Martin Luther
Image
If there is anything in us, it is not our own it is a gift of God. But if it is a gift of God, then it is entirely a debt one owes to love, that is, to the law of Christ. And if it is a debt owed to love, then I must serve others with it, not myself.
Martin Luther
Image
I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all.
Martin Luther

Martin Luther
Image
You should be certain that angels are protecting you when you go to sleep. Yea, that they are protecting you also in all your business, whether you enter or leave your home.
Martin Luther
Image
Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
Martin Luther
Image
The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
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
You must learn that if you are a Christian, you will without a doubt experience all kinds of opposition and evil inclinations in the flesh. For when you have faith, there will be a hundred more evil thoughts and a hundred more temptations than before.
Martin Luther
Image
The certain mark by which a Christian community can be recognized is the preaching of the gospel in its purity.
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

How often have not the demons called 'Nix,' drawn women and girls into the water, and there had commerce with them, with fearful consequences.
