If I profess with loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except that little point which the world and the Devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
Martin LutherFor in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
Martin LutherWhen God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Martin Luther
