New Lutheran Quote of the Day

The Apostle rings in Psalm 68 with the kicker, "He gave gifts to men."  Where does God do that?  Can we determine the place?  If no place, then no gift.  Gifts to us happen at a place and at a time.  For a gift to be given, there needs to be not only a time and a place but also a gift.  And there is gift when there is someone who gives the gift and someone to whom the gift is given.  These three.  -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 188.
