Happy Reformation Day

In celebration of Reformation Day I am providing for you a quote from Martin Luther:

"Night and day I pondered until I saw the connection between the justice of God and the statement that 'the just shall live by his faith.' Then I grasped that the justice of God is that righteousness by which through grace and sheer mercy God justifies us through faith. Thereupon I felt myself to be reborn and to have gone through open doors into paradise."

Soli Deo Gloria!

Lock 'Em In

Having problems getting your point across to the folks in your church? Here's a strategy from a few years back that might help:

On this day in 1675 - A Massachusetts law was enacted requiring church doors to be locked during the worship service. (Too many people were leaving before the long sermons were completed.)
