Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms
Oct 31 , 1517 a little known monk by the name Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the Church at Wittenberg. It was a treatise against all the corruption and heresy within the Catholic church. It began a reformation and revolution . If you gathered today in a protestant Church , you have Luther to thank . Unfortunately how many people today have even heard of the 95 Theses or the fact that the Catholic Church still preaches a gospel that is no gospel. In your Church this morning was any honor paid to Martin Luther . How many youth if you say Martin Luther , think of only Martin Luther King Jr. the black activist in the 60's. Sad really.
The reformation is far from over for the primary doctrines that drove the division between Protestants and Catholics still remain (contrary to what Chuck Colson thinks) . May the great truths of the reformation be declared with a new passion and thunder. Happy Reformation day .

It's one thing to read the famous lines, said at the Diet of Worms, it's another thing entirely to see it. Wow, brings it all to life. Well done, Happy Reformation Day to you, too. Love you, Mrs Reg
