In this week’s installment from Off the Record with Martin Luther, Luther comments on his battle with Satan:

1822. I should rejoice so much that because of joy I remain healthy and cannot become sick. But tiresome Satan works against such joy where he can, runs around without stopping, torments and frightens us either directly with his fiery arrows or through ourselves or another. Heaven and earth, death and life are great things, but faith in Christ is much greater (p. 410)
