Well, so much for a new years resolution to blog more. I've actually blogged less in '07 than in previous years. So I figure I'll need to write about 5 posts a day for the rest of the year to catch up. Suffice to say - that ain't happening! But I'm going to try to be more faithful at posting in the remaining two months of '07 (my how time flies).
Hey...anyone know what today is??? Well, yes it is Halloween, but that's not the answer I was looking for.
Today is Reformation Day. On October 31, 1517 a German monk named Martin Luther changed the world when he nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the doors of the Wittenberg Church. Luther did this to start a debate and dialog on the Catholic doctrine and practice indulgences. Contrary to popular belief, he did not wish to cause a schism in the church. But obviously, that was the result and the official beginning of the Reformation and Protestant movement.
If you'd like to read more of Luther's work, or the writings of other theological titans you can go to http://www.monergism.com/ and click on "ESSAYS".
Happy Reformation Day!
Awesome post dude! So insightful a caveman could write it.
