Happy Reformation Day

Today is Reformation Day, the anniversary of the Reformation that began in 1517. Five hundred years ago today, Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to a church door. This document outlined many of the unbiblical traditions and problems that had crept into the church. Luther and the other reformers urged the church to stop relying on man’s word as truth and instead trust the Word of God.

Now, their stand cost them, but it ignited a Reformation we still feel the effects of. But the temptation to trust man’s word over God’s Word still pulls at us. The Bible even warns us that this would be a struggle!

On this anniversary, remember to stand on God’s Word.
