Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

As Paul, now, pursued the matter so earnestly and conceives the idea of suppressing this new sect in other regions beyond Jerusalem, our Lord Jesus has other plans for him and says, Halt! This is a man I want! Whatever he sets his mind to do, he does with determination and resolve; and this resolve which he now manifests in an evil way, I will turn around with my Spirit and utilize for a good purpose. -- Blessed Martin Luther, *House Postils* 3:269
