Martin Luther (1970). “Three Treatises”, p.100, Fortress Press

Martin Luther (1959). “What Luther says: an anthology”

The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.

Men, Scripture, Reason

This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.

Strong, Lying, Men

Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.

Death, Faith, Loneliness

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Ah, if I could only pray the way that dog looks at meat.

It is a good thing to let prayer be the first business in the morning and the last in the evening. Guard yourself against such false and deceitful thoughts that keep whispering, "Wait a while. In an hour or so I will pray. I must first finish this or that." Thinking such thoughts we get away from prayer into other things that will hold us and involve us till the prayer of the day comes to naught.

Morning, Prayer, Thinking

For what God gives I thank indeed; What He withholds I do not need

Giving, Needs, Christianity

Many pass for saints on earth whose souls are in hell.

Martin Luther, Desiderius Erasmus, Ernest Gordon Rupp, Philip Saville Watson (1969). “Luther and Erasmus: Free will and salvation”, Westminster John Knox Press

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.

Sin, Christ, Made

For some years now I have read through the Bible twice every year. If you picture the Bible to be a mighty tree and every word a little branch, I have shaken every one of these branches because I wanted to know what it was and what it meant.

Martin Luther (1967). “Table Talk”

God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.

Prayer, Want, Praying

Martin Luther (2009). “Faith Alone: A Daily Devotional”, p.238, Zondervan

The organ in the worship service is a sign of Baal.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

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.

Christian, Get Well, Mean

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Real, Fruit, Christianity

Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love...receiving from above [faith] and giving out below [love].

Two, Giving, And Love
