God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.

When schools flourish, all flourishes.
Martin Luther
Image
What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, It comes from a hand we love, and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.
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
The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.
Martin Luther
Image
That little bird has chosen his shelter. Above it are the stars and the deep heaven of worlds. Yet he is rocking himself to sleep without caring for tomorrow's lodging, calmly clinging to his little twig, and leaving God to think for him.
Martin Luther
Image
Lord God, I thank Thee that Thou hast been pleased to make me a poor and indigent man upon earth. I have neither house nor land nor money, to leave behind me. Thou hast given me wife and children, whom I now restore to Thee. Lord, nourish, teach, and preserve them as Thou hast me.
Martin Luther
Image
Twas a special gift of God that speech was given to mankind for through the Word, and not by force, wisdom governs.
Martin Luther
Image
The slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love toward us.
Martin Luther
Image
What man, if he were God, would humble himself to lie in the feedbox of a donkey or to hang upon a cross?
Martin Luther
Image
Before every great opportunity God gave me a great trial.
Martin Luther
Image
The whole Turkish empire is nothing else but a crust cast by Heaven's great Housekeeper to His dogs.
Martin Luther
Image
The Pope is a mere tormentor of conscience. The assembly of his greased and religious crew in praying was altogether like the croaking of frogs, which edified nothing at all.
Martin Luther
Image
God's love does not love that which is worthy of being loved, but it creates that which is worthy of being loved.
Martin Luther
Image
In Switzerland, on a high mountain, not far from Lucerne, there is a lake they call Pilate's Pond, which the Devil has fixed upon as one of the chief residences of his evil spirits.
Martin Luther
Image
To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.
Martin Luther
Image
Yes, I see the Church as the body of Christ. But, oh! How we have blemished and scarred that body through social neglect and through fear of being nonconformists.
Martin Luther
Image
Despair makes priests and friars.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever we make the most of is our God.
Martin Luther
Image
Whatever your heart clings to and confides in, that is really your God, your functional savior.
Martin Luther
