Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

O Lord Jesus, in church I hear You extolled as the Fountain of Life.  Oh, help me to love church, the place where this comfort resounds!  Help me to keep the pitcher of my heart pure, to fill it to the brim from Your well of salvation, to carry it attentively home, nor to neglect it through carelessness, but to make great use of it in my prayer, cross, affliction, distress, tribulation, and death, and to share its comforts with others also. -- Valerius Herberger, On the Great Works of God, p. 158.
