June 7, 2019 – A Brittle Faith But A Sure Gospel
“For I know in what hours of darkness I sometimes wrestle. I know how often I suddenly lose the beams of the gospel, and grace, as being shadowed from me with thick and dark clouds. … Therefore, in respect of us the article of justification by faith in Christ alone, is very brittle, because we are brittle” (Martin Luther, Galatians, 31).
