Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Thus, while the negative side of holiness, freedom from sin, is complete with his entrance into another world, its positive side, or the ever-increasing growth of capacities for new bestowals of grace, ever advances. -- Henry E. Jacobs, *Elements of Religion* p. 200

This quote reminds me of when I would read, every January as the first book every year, Adolf Koeberle's, "The Quest for Holiness."
Maybe it's time I renewed the practice.
