Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Error is in the intellect; sin in the will.  Therefore if the will has not yet been confirmed in goodness so as to be free from every peril of sin, then certainly the intellect has also not yet been so fully illumined by the divine light as to be free from every peril of erring. Sin itself is a species of error because the will errs by selecting something that is seemingly good instead of something that is truly good. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, On the Church, p. 208.
