Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The reading of Holy Scripture can instruct the laity salutarily, it can support them with life-giving comfort, it can correct faults of behavior in them, it can arm them against Satan and make them wise to eternal life. We must not keep the laity from reading Scripture, but rather invite them to it. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, *On the Nature of Theology and Scripture* p. 451
