Faith is a free surrenderand a joyous wager on the unseen, unknown, untested goodness of God.
Martin LutherEither sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God.
Martin LutherEvery week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
Martin LutherWhenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to.
Martin Luther
