Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love...receiving from above [faith] and giving out below [love].
Martin LutherThose who turn proud when their praise is sounded, who seek their own glory, not Christ's, or those who are moved by slanders and by infamy, had better leave the ministry of the Word.
Martin LutherHuman reason is like a drunken man on horseback; set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other
Martin LutherThere are some of us who think to ourselves, 'If I had only been there! How quick I would have been to help the Baby. I would have washed His linen. How happy I would have been to go with the shepherds to see the Lord lying in the manger!' Why don't we do it now? We have Christ in our neighbor.
Martin Luther
