When I am angry I can pray well and preach well.
Martin Luther
Image
The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.
Martin Luther
Image
At night always carry in your heart something from Holy Scriptures to bed with you, meditate upon it like a ruminant animal, and go softly to sleep but this must not be too much, rather a little that may be well pondered and understood, that you may find a remnant of it in your mind when you rise in the morning.
Martin Luther
Image
He who is well acquainted with the text of scripture, is a distinguished theologian. For a Bible passage or text is of more value than the comments of four authors.
Martin Luther
Image
The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away.
Martin Luther
Image
If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.
Martin Luther
Image
I'd rather see heaven crash from the skies than one grain of God's truth die.
Martin Luther
Image
It is better to think of church in the ale-house than to think of the ale-house in church.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
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
Maternity is a glorious thing, since all mankind has been conceived, born, and nourished of women. All human laws should encourage the multiplication of families.
Martin Luther
Image
To worship God in spirit is the service and homage of the heart, and implies fear of God and trust in Him.
Martin Luther
Image
I've got so much work to do today, I'd better spend two hours in prayer instead of one.
Martin Luther
Image
Ultimately, however, conflict lies not in objective reality, but in people's heads. Truth is simple one argument - perhaps a good one, perhaps not - for dealing with the difference. The difference itself exists because it exists in their thinking.
Martin Luther
Image
We must not regard what or how the world esteems us, so we have the Word pure, and are certain of our doctrine.
Martin Luther
Image
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
Martin Luther
Image
I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people joyful they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.
Martin Luther
Image
Christian living does not mean to be good but to become good not to be well, but to get well not being but becoming nor rest but training. We are not yet, but we shall be. It has not yet happened, but it is the way. Not everything shines and sparkles as yet, but everything is getting better.
Martin Luther
Image
Teaching is of more importance than urging.
Martin Luther
Image
Take a look at your own heart, and you will soon find out what has stuck to it and where your treasure is. It is easy to determine whether hearing the Word of God, living according to it, and achieving such a life gives you as much enjoyment and calls forth as much diligence from you as does accumulating and saving money and property.
