While going through an old journal the other day I discovered a couple of quotes that I think really capture something about our Lutheran theology and practice.
While Lutherans also confess that God is almighty, Lutheran theology does not begin with His majesty but with His mercy in Christ.
John Pless, "Handling the Word of Truth" page 101
Lutherans are about faith in Christ and deeds that show Christ's love and mercy.
Matt Harrison, "Christ Have Mercy" page 142
