Happy Reformation Day!

Today marks the 489th anniversary of the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church at Wittenburg. In so doing he struck a match, beginning a fire that quickly spread throughout Europe and throughout the world. Having become increasingly disillusioned with the doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, and in particular the sale of indulgences, Luther wrote his Theses to try to begin the process of reform. While he was unable to bring reform to the entire church, he did trigger the Protestant Reformation by rediscovering the Gospel - the good news of salvation by grace through faith.

From the Protestant Reformation we get five Solas:

Sola Gratia (Grace Alone)

Sola Fide (Faith Alone)

Sola Scriptura (Scripture Alone)

Solo Christo (Christ Alone)

Soli Deo Gloria (Glory to God alone)


I would encourage anyone who doesn't know much about the Protestant Reformation, Luther, or his 95 Theses to research them. You'll come away with a better understanding of church history and much more.

Soli Deo Gloria!

You can keep your home improvement budget in line by doing a lot of the work yourself. Some projects can be done by novices as long as the novice knows what he or she is doing.
