New Lutheran Quote of the Day
Who does the believing is better said as who's being given to? Better to have God running the verbs, that way they are reliable. To have us run them, they begin to wobble. All verbs of salvation are in the passive, the divine passive. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Lecture Notes Systems II

The Divine Passive...that is a good check to run when sermon writing is completed. Are my verbs in the divine passive? If not, then edit.
Great reminder. Thanks Will.
