Reformation Day

omorrow we remember the moment in our Church's great history most significant to Protestants: Martin Luther nailing his 95 points of contention with the Roman Catholic Church. He desired a dialogue with the leaders of the church, not to look at the the flames of Reformation already raging and add to it a pyre of logs the size of which was used to burn Jan Hus. Like or dislike his style and personality, even (and especially) some of his beliefs, he was the man chosen by God to continue the great work of Reform. He, like Vos and van den Esschen less than four years after he nailed the list to Wittenberg's door, was willing to die for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you have not seen Luther with Joseph Fiennes as Martin Luther, please do so.
