To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
Martin LutherLove is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
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 LutherThe slender capacity of man's heart cannot comprehend the unfathomable depth and burning zeal of God's love toward us.
Martin LutherIndeed, to spur your Baal to action, I will taunt and challenge you ... to create as much as a single frog in the name and by the power of free choice, though the heathen and ungodly magicians in Egypt were able to create many.... I will not set you the heavy task of creating lice, which they could not produce either
