This coming Sunday, we’ll be celebrating the Reformation in church. In 1517, monk Martin Luther started a theological revolt against Roman Catholic doctrine that locked away the Gospel from God’s children and replaced it with a reliance on the law (mostly man-made). Luther’s struggle to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the forefront of Christian thought caused a split within Christendom and eventually led to a church body that bears his name.

I like Reformation Sunday. Yes, it is a Lutheran “rah-rah” day, but it is more than that. We truly celebrate the Gospel on this day!

Sunday will be fun.
