When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
Good works are the seals and proofs of faith; for even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.
In ourselves, we are sinners, and yet through faith we are righteous by the imputation of God. For we trust him who promises to deliver us, and in the meantime struggle so that sin may not overwhelm us, but that we may stand up to it until he finally take it away from us.
Come, let us sing a psalm, and drive away the devil.
I cannot neglect prayer for a single day.
The devil is not only a liar, but also a murderer, he constantly seeks our life, and wreaks his anger whenever he can afflict our bodies with misfortune and harm. Hence it comes that he often breaks men's necks or drives them to insanity, drowns some, and incites many to commit suicide, and to many other terrible calamities. Therefore there is nothing for us to do upon earth but to pray against this arch enemy without ceasing. For unless God preserved us, we would not be safe from him even for an hour.
Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved.
May the Lord fill you with His blessings and with hatred of the Pope.
Night and day I pondered until I saw the connection between the justice of God and the statement that 'the just shall live by his faith.'

Mankind has a free will; but it is free to milk cows and to build houses, nothing more.
To have peace and love in marriage is a gift which is next to the knowledge of the Gospel.
We ought first to know that there are no good works except those which God has commanded, even as there is no sin except that which God has forbidden.
When God creates faith in a man, that is as great a work as if He created heaven and earth all over again.
Here I stand; I can do no other.
Do not suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object which is abused. Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we then prohibit and abolish women?
Heavy thoughts bring on physical maladies; when the soul is oppressed so is the body.
And I'll tell you, I've seen the lightning flash. I've heard the thunder roll. I felt sin-breakers dashing, trying to conquer my soul. But I heard the voice of Jesus saying still to fight on. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone. No, never alone. He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone.
