Reformation Day

An Evening Reflection –
“Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the presidency of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, and Lecturer in Ordinary on the same at that place. Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter. In the name our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
95 theses followed, written and nailed to the door at Wittenberg. How incredibly significant. Those first 14 words are ringing in my ear this Reformation Day. I sit here wondering how I might finish the sentence ... “Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, I ______________.” God help us all to burn with like passion for the truth and the desire to bring it to light!
Grace & peace,
Steve
