Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The faith has been confessed from the beginning. It has been embodied in a creed, the origin of whose present shape no man knows, which indeed cannot be fixed; for it arose from the words of our Savior's Baptismal Commission, and was not manufactured, but grew. Of the Apostles' Creed, as of Him to whom its heart is given, it may be affirmed that it was 'begotten, not made.' -- C. P. Krauth, *Conservative Reformation* p. 168
