New Lutheran Quote of the Day

Every so often I hear someone say, "You believe in doctrine.  I believe in Jesus."  Such an expression may sound very pious, but the devil is behind it.  We cannot believe in Jesus unless we are taught the doctrine of Jesus.  You cannot separate Christ from the doctrine of Christ.  -- Klem Preus, The Fire and the Staff, p. 56.
