Now the Church is not wood and stone, but the company of believing people; one must hold to them, and see how they believe, live and teach.
Martin LutherGod wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.
Martin LutherThough we be active in the battle, if we are not fighting where the battle is the hottest, we are traitors to the cause.
Martin LutherIf 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 LutherAs long as a man is persuaded that he can make even the smallest contribution to his salvation, he remains self-confident and does not utterly despair of himself, and so is not humbled before God. Such a man plans out for himself a position, an occasion, a work, which shall bring him final salvation, but which will not.
Martin Luther
