Gerhard and Walther

Wisdom consists in the daily contemplation of death.—Johann Gerhard, Schola Pietatis I:222

A person who has true love is gentle toward the sinner and the erring, but he is just as earnestly opposed to sin and error. True love is holy love. A love that does not hate unrighteousness and does not rejoice in truth is only an illusion of love.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 241.
