Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

If thou wouldst be among those on the right hand of the Lord on that great day, show the kindly spirit He commends in them. Let the sad fate of those on His left hand strike fear in thy heart, because they are there not for doing evil so much as for not doing good. O God, incline my heart unto Thy testimonies, and not to covetousness! (Psalm cxix.36) -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation xxxiii
