“If you want to change the world, pick up your pen and write.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “Peace if possible. Truth at all costs.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “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 Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther)
“The Gospel cannot be truly preached without offense and tumult.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “Blood alone moves the wheels of history” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “It is a doctrine of Satan that men are no longer terrified by the law and have replaced it with a gospel of love and grace ONLY!” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “An unjust law, is no law at all.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) If anyone attempted to rule the world by the Gospel and to abolish all temporal law and sword on the plea that all are baptized and Christian, and that, according to the gospel, there shall be among them no law or sword - or need for either - pray tell me, friend, what would he be doing? He would be loosing the ropes and chains of the savage wild beasts and letting them bite and mangle everyone, meanwhile insisting that they were harmless, tame, and gentle creatures; but I would have the proof in my wounds. Just so would the wicked under the name of Christian abuse evangelical freedom, carry on their rascality, and insist that they were Christians subject neither to law nor sword, as some are already raving and ranting. ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “When it comes to faith, what a living, creative, active, powerful thing it is. It cannot do other than good at all times. It never waits to ask whether there is some good work to do, rather, before the question is raised, it has done the deed, and keeps on doing it” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) “It is certainly true that reason is the most important and the highest rank among all things and, in comparison with other things of this life, the best and something divine. It is the inventor and mentor of all the arts, medicines, laws, and of whatever wisdom, power, virtue, and glory men possess in this life.” ― _Martin Luther_ (https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/29874.Martin_Luther) -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
