Today marks the 491st anniversary of the event that sparked the Protestant Reformation, namely, when the German reformer Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the door of a church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther's actions were a mark against the Catholic Church, and later led to complete excommunication from it. He risked everything, including his own life, to be true to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, condemning many of the teachings of the Catholic Church. I am eternally grateful to the Lord for Martin Luther and other such men and women, both past and present, who lay down their lives for the sake of Christ and His Truth.
So, Happy Reformation Day! May God give grace to His Church to reform ever closer to the image of Jesus and the truth of Scripture.
