Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

We do not deny that the malice of the devil and the brazenness of people have at times stirred up and still can stir up disagreements in our churches.  These, however, do not undermine the unity of faith in the hearts of the devout, nor do they make suspect the truth of doctrine.  In fact, the unity of faith and the truth of doctrine are actually confirmed from them. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, On the Church, p. 524.
