Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world.
Martin Luther
Image
The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands
Martin Luther
Image
Whoever does not know God hidden in suffering does not know God at all.
Martin Luther

Our loving God wills that we eat, drink and be merry.
Martin Luther

There is no gown or garment that worse becomes a woman than when she will be wise.
Martin Luther

A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther

I am afraid that the schools will prove the very gates of hell, unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures and engraving them in the heart of the youth.
Martin Luther
