A man must completely despair of himself in order to become fit to obtain the grace of Christ.
Martin LutherThe Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world; it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.
Martin LutherThe devil, the originator of sorrowful anxieties and restless troubles, flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God....Music is a gift and grace of God, not an invention of men. Thus it drives out the devil and makes people cheerful. Then one forgets all wrath, impurity, and other devices.
Martin Luther
