“Whatever withdraws us from the power of our senses; whatever makes the past, the distant, or the future, predominate over the present, advances us in the dignity of thinking beings. Far from me, and far from my friends be such frigid philosophy as may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery, or virtue.

“In short, I will preach it [the Word], teach it, write it, but I will constrain no man by force, for faith must come freely without compulsion. Take myself as an example. I opposed indulgences and all the papists, but never with force. I simply taught, preached, and wrote God's Word; otherwise I did nothing.

I did nothing; the Word did everything.” MenWritingForceLossTeachExampleTaughtMy FriendsBeerCompulsionDrankIndulgenceEmperorPhilipConstrain Book:Selected Writings of Martin Luther: 1520 523 Source: Selected Writings of Martin Luther: 1520 523
