My goodness gracious. I just clicked through some of these sayings. Clint Schnekloth is right. We can learn so much from technology.
Many years ago, the Rev. Timothy F. Lull was pastor of my church. (At the time, he was a young pastor in his first church. Later, he went on to become the President of Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley, CA.) Back then, in his sermons, he would hold up his hand and point his finger. He would say: “Look! When I point one finger at you, I am pointing three back at myself.” I think this image is most certainly true: In all of these horrid sayings, Martin Luther is talking about himself.
Martin Luther was a maladjusted teenager who never grew up.

I’m sure he really would have liked the March issue of The Lutheran Magazine — the “Swimsuit Edition.” Luther was, in a word, puerile.
