Quote of the day

“The proclamation of the written word is God’s Word, wherever and whenever it pleases Him; the word of preaching is recognised as the Word of God only when and because the Holy Spirit gives it to be recognised as such. The human heart must be opened in faith through God’s own Spirit if that on which everything depends is to come to pass: the knowing of God.”

—Emil Brunner, The Divine-Human Encounter (London: SCM, 1944), p. 16.
