HAPPY REFORMATION DAY!!!

I just want to express to everyone a Happy Reformation Day. Today, 490 years ago, a German monk named Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses on the door of the Church of Wittenberg. Thus, this act started what became known as "The Protestant Reformation", a movement that was geared to bring the church back to the Biblical truths of Scripture and out of the erroneous doctrines that were galvanizing the church at the time.

Being Reformed, I thank God for His sovereign move in the formation of this event, and the impact that it has had even in the church today. Truly, this movement has impacted every evangelical church in some way--even those who do not hold to the doctrines that were recovered during this period. And while it both saddens and excites me that there is much work to do in reforming the church, I do praise God that He is loving to make His truth available to anyone much less everyone. So for those of you who are being blessed from the sound, biblical instruction that was recovered from this movement, it is my prayer that you will cherish this day as the time where God, in His absolute grace and mercy, revived His people to proclaim the truth of His Word and His Son to all the world for His glory.
