Ups and Downs

‎"Lutheran spirituality, properly speaking, is not some static state of bliss, but a dynamic oscillation between lows and highs, knowledge of sin and knowledge of forgiveness, repentance, and assurance. The Gospel is to predominate, however, in the words of C.F.W. Walther, so that the Lutheran Christian lives in a state of grace."

-Veith, Spirituality of the Cross, p.38
