Old Lutheran Quote of the Day
Therefore, lock up your reason, tread your wisdom under foot, and do not let them grope about, or feel, or think, in matters that concern your salvation, but simply and solely listen to what the Son of God says, to what is His Word, and stop there. Hearken! Hearken! is the command. That is truly and honestly doing our Lord God's will, and He has promised that whosoever hearkens to the Son will receive the Holy Ghost, to enlighten and kindle him so that he will rightly understand the Word of God. God will change him into a man after His own heart. That He will really do. -- Blessed Martin Luther, *Sermons on John vii*
