Music is to be praised as second only to the Word of God because by her all the emotions are swayed. That is why there are so many songs and psalms. This precious gift has been bestowed on men alone to remind them that they are created to praise and magnify the Lord.
Martin Luther -
Many demons are in woods, in waters, in wildernesses, and in dark poolly places ready to hurt...people.
Martin Luther
-
We must beat the Gospel into peoples' heads incessantly because it's the one thing we're prone to forget.
Martin Luther -
Glory to God in highest heaven, Who unto man His Son hath given; While angels sing with tender mirth, A glad new year to all the earth.
Martin Luther -
The irony is I stopped going to church a few weeks later.
Martin Luther -
The Devil, it is true, is not exactly a doctor who has taken degrees, but he is very learned, very expert for all that. He has not been carrying on his business during thousands of years for nothing.
Martin Luther -
Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.
Martin Luther -
One Book is enough, but a thousand books is not too many!
Martin Luther
-
God may delay, but He always comes.
Martin Luther -
Hereby we may understand that God, of His special grace, maketh the teachers of the gospel subject to the Cross, and to all kinds of afflicitons, for the salvation of themselves and of the people; for otherwise they could by no means beat down this beast which is called vain-glory.
Martin Luther -
We should die relying on grace alone.
Martin Luther -
If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.
Martin Luther -
I would not give one moment of heaven for all the joy and riches of the world, even if it lasted for thousands and thousands of years.
Martin Luther -
A unjust law, is no law at all.
Martin Luther
-
Out of the mountain of despair, a stone of hope.
Martin Luther -
Marriage is a civic matter. It is really not, together with all its circumstances, the business of the church.
Martin Luther -
The great unthankfulness, contempt of God's word, and wilfulness of the world, make me fear that the divine light will soon cease to shine on man, for God's word has ever had its certain course.
Martin Luther -
We are not to look upon our sins as insignificant trifles. On the other hand, we are not to regard them as so terrible that we must despair. Learn to believe that Christ was given, not for picayune and imaginary transgressions, but for mountainous sins; not for one or two, but for all; not for sins that can be discarded, but for sins that are stubbornly ingrained.
Martin Luther -
I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without him.
Martin Luther -
Of whom shall I be afraid? One with God is a majority.
Martin Luther
-
Works indeed are good, and God strictly requires them of us, but they do not make us holy.
Martin Luther -
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 -
When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. 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. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.
Martin Luther -
Idiots, the lame, the blind, the dumb, are men in whom the devils have established themselves: and all the physicians who heal these infirmities, as though they proceeded from natural causes, are ignorant blockheads.
Martin Luther
