Today's Quote (1/23/15):
"True humility does not know that it is humble. If it did, it would be proud from the contemplation of s fine a virtue." - Martin Luther, "Martin Luther's Christmas Book"
Today's Quote (10/25/14):
“These are the Scriptures which make fools of all the
wise and understanding, and are open only to the small and simple, as Christ
says in Matthew 11:25. Therefore dismiss your own opinions and feelings, and
think of the scriptures as the loftiest and noblest of holy things, as the
richest of mines which can never be sufficiently explored, in order that you
may find divine wisdom which God here lays before you in such simple guise as
to quench all pride. Here you will find the swaddling clothes and the manger in
which Christ lies.” -- Luther, Luther’s Works, vol. 35: Prefaces to the Old
Testament, 236.
Today's Quote (10/23/14):
“The Holy Scriptures require a humble reader who shows
reverence and fear toward the Word of God, and constantly says, ‘Teach me,
teach me, teach me…. The Spirit resists the proud.’” -‐ Martin Luther, Luther’s
Works, vol.54, 379; Table Talk, 5017
