Luther on temptation and beer
Thursday, February 04, 2010
"Be strong and of good courage, and by all means throw aside these monstrous thoughts. Whenever the devil vexes you with these thoughts, seek the company of others, or drink more, joke, make nonsense, or engage in some other form of merriment. Sometimes one must drink more, joke, make nonsense, and even commit some sin in defiance and contempt of the devil in order not to give him an opportunity to make us scrupulous about trifles."
-Martin Luther, Letter to Jerome Weller: On the Devil, July 1530

Love it. Just found your blog and this is great. I'm with you from what I can read so far. Problem is, I'd like to share this post of Facebook and don't see how to do that. Do you have a share button?
Great idea, I added share buttons to all the posts.
