Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
MARTIN LUTHER

This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.
MARTIN LUTHER

MARTIN LUTHER

Always preach in such a way that if the people listening do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you.
MARTIN LUTHER

The kingdom of God does not consist in talk, but in power, that is, in works and practice. God loves the ‘doers of the word’ in faith and love, and not the ‘mere hearers,’ who, like parrots, have learned to utter certain expressions with readiness.
MARTIN LUTHER

Expression God Learning Love Power Practice Talk
I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.
