Quote

If Church history teaches us anything, it is that we cannot afford to be a vacillating Church. We minister to a people who are in great need of hearing truth, we dare not make any attempt to soft pedal that glorious truth.

Martin Luther

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
Two devils rose from the water, and flew off through the air, crying, 'Oh, oh, oh!' and turning one over another, in sportive mockery.
Martin Luther
Image
A penny saved is of more value than a penny paid out.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
Martin Luther
Image
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil won't stay where there is music.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing is more sweet than harmony in marriage, and nothing more distressing than dissension.
Martin Luther
Image
Here I stand I can do no other.
Martin Luther
Image
It is not the imitation that makes sons it is sonship that makes imitators.
Martin Luther
Image
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
Pure Christian love is not derived from the merit of the object.
Martin Luther
Image
Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools.
Martin Luther
Image
The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the 'doers of the word' in faith and love, and not the 'mere hearers,' who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.
Martin Luther
Image
Science gives man knowledge which is power religion gives man wisdom which is control.
Martin Luther
Image
I have such hatred of divorce that I prefer bigamy to divorce. Anyway, I think we should see other people.
Martin Luther
Image
He [Christ] died for me. He made His righteousness mine and made my sin His own and if He made my sin His own, then I do not have it, and I am free.
Martin Luther
Image
I see a word that hates evil more than it loves good.
Martin Luther
Image
As concerning faith we ought to be invincible, and more hard, if it might be, than the adamant stone but as touching charity, we ought to be soft, and more flexible than the reed or leaf that is shaken with the wind, and ready to yield to everything.
Martin Luther
Image
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Martin Luther
Image
We need not invite the Devil to our table he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.
Martin Luther
Image
The Jews are the most miserable people on earth. They are plagued everywhere, and scattered about all countries, having no certain resting place. They sit as on a wheelbarrow, without a country, people or government... but they are rightly served, for seeing they refused have Christ and his gospel, instead of freedom they must have servitude.
Martin Luther
