Martin Luther

God is placing us in new situations. His unchanging and utterly reliable Word provides our only anchor.

Christian mercy should not seek its own. It must be round, and open its eyes and look at all alike, friend and foe, as our heavenly Father does.

Indeed, the law said, “You shall love the Lord your God,” but the law cannot give me such love, nor can it take my hand to grasp on to Christ.

Christ strikes a blow against the presumption of those who would storm their way into heaven by their good works.

In some measure, if Luther had any success during his last two decades, it happened because of the woman who’d insisted on him as her bridegroom.
