“These are the times . . .
March 28, 2010
. . . in which a genius would wish to live. It is not in the still calm of life, or the repose of a pacific station, that great characters are formed. The habits of a vigorous mind are formed in contending with difficulties. Great necessities call out great virtues. When a mind is raised, and animated by scenes that engage the heart, then those qualities which would otherwise lay dormant, wake into life and form the character of the hero and the statesman.“
— Abigail Adams (1744 – 1818)
Reformation Day, October 31st
October 31, 2009
On this day, 492-years ago, Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses onto the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, Germany. His 95 theses showed where the Roman Catholic Church had deceived the people into buying God’s Salvation rather than trusting Christ alone for redemption.
As Martin Luther’s 95 theses quickly circulated Europe, people became aware of the false doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church and were curious to discover what the Bible really said about Salvation, righteousness and true worship from the heart.
October 31st, 1517, is viewed to be the beginning of the Reformation, a time God used to revive the hearts of His people and bring the truth of His Word forward.
(Dr. Martin Luther was the husband of Katharina von Bora who is featured in Collection One)
