What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie? Martin Luther More Quotes by Martin Luther More Quotes From Martin Luther The world doesn't want to be punished. It wants to remain in darkness. It doesn't want to be told that what it believes is false. If you also don't want to be corrected, then you might as well leave the church and spend your time at the bar and brothel. But if you want to be saved-and remember that there's another life after this one-you must accept correction.

Martin Luther costtruthfaith Whenever 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 drinkingbeersports Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures; and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.

Martin Luther churchbelievepeople I have so much to do today, I'll need to spend another hour on my knees. Martin Luther kneestodayneeds I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise I did nothing. The Word of God did it all. Martin Luther word-of-godtaught It is not necessary for a preacher to express all his thoughts in one sermon. A preacher should have three principles: first, to make a good beginning, and not spend time with many words before coming to the point; secondly, to say that which belongs to the subject in chief, and avoid strange and foreign thoughts; thirdly, to stop at the proper time.

Though all my heart should feel condemned For want of some sweet token, There is One greater than my heart Whose Word cannot be broken.
