New Lutheran Quote of the Day

We know His death for us on Calvary.  We know that if God did that for us then no power of sin, world, or Satan can separate us from the love of God.  No matter what onslaughts of sin we may have to endure, we know that we cannot be destroyed.  We may have to suffer a lot.  Jesus did too.  We may be put to death.  But through all this we know that the God who joined Himself to us in Bethlehem and died for us on Calvary will not forsake us.  By all this our being bound up with Him is tested and strengthened.  We are challenged to show forth the victory with our lives and with our deaths.  -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 328,9.
