Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Our Church is a liberal Church, in the true sense; she is liberal with what belongs to her, but not liberal in giving away her Master's goods, contrary to His order. The truth, in its minutest part, she does not trifle with. For herself and her children, she must hold it with uncompromising fidelity. But she heartily believes, that, even where some portions of the truth is lost or obscured, God may, through what is left, perpetuate a Christian life. She believes that God has His blessed ones, kept through His almighty grace, through all Christendom. -- Krauth, *Conservative Reformation* p. 192
