Colorful Sayings of Martin Luther  - On Human Nature:     -  "Nothing is easier than sinning."     -  "Temptations, of course, cannot be avoided, but because we cannot prevent         the birds from flying over our heads, there is no need that we should let         them nest in our hair." On Preaching:     -  "It is not necessary for a preacher to express all his thoughts in one sermon.         A preacher should have three principles: first, to make a good beginning,         and not spend time with many words before coming to the point;         secondly, to say that which belongs to the subject in chief, and avoid         strange and foreign thoughts;         thirdly, to stop at the proper time." On Christian freedom:      -  "If our Lord is permitted to create nice large pike and good Rhine wine,          presumably I may be allowed to eat and drink." And this . . . "This life therefore is not righteousness but growth in righteousness; not health but healing, not being but becoming, not rest but exercise. We are not yet what we shall be but we are growing toward it; the process is not yet finished but it is growing on; this is not the end but it is the road. All does not gleam in glory but all is being purified."                                                                                 -  Martin Luther + + +

Our purpose is to know Christ and to make Him known in word and deed.
