When Appearing Crazy Fits
For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. 2 Corinthians 5:13 D.L. MOODYIn my opinion, no one is fit for God’s service until he is willing to be considered mad by the world. They said Paul was mad. I wish we had many more who were bitten with the same kind of madness. ERWIN LUTZERThere are times when Christians might appear mad to the people of the world. In response to Paul’s teaching, the Roman officer Festus said, “Paul you are out of your mind, … Read More >

European Reformation: Luther And The Struggle For Salvation
When Martin Luther entered the Augustinian monastery, he had one goal—and that was the salvation of his soul. The picture above shows the altar where he performed his first mass, and in front of it is a gravestone upon which he knelt to say his vows of obedience and chastity. Also, I’ve included a picture of the last monastic cell in which he stayed in Erfurt, Germany. Luther was terror stricken at the thought of Christ as Judge. He sought to lay hold of every means of grace that was available to him. He knew he could never get to … Read More >

Always Righteous
The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me. For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me. Romans 7:10–11 D.L. MOODYA friend in England was telling me that an acquaintance of his, a minister, was once called upon to officiate at a funeral in the place of a chaplain of one of Her Majesty’s prisons who was absent. He noticed that only one solitary man followed the body of the criminal to the grave. When the grave had been covered, this man told the minister that he was an … Read More >

European Reformation: From Here The World Changed Forever
The picture above is of the Wittenberg door, where Luther nailed his 95 Theses. As you might guess, the door is not original, for the wooden door used during Luther’s time was burned in a fire during the Thirty Years War. Replacing it is a metal door, with the 95 Theses ingrained in Latin. Above it is Luther kneeling with an open Bible before the crucified Christ, and Melanchthon kneels with a copy of the Augsburg Confession. Luther had come to Wittenberg as a professor, deeply troubled, and overcome with guilt and a sense of alienation from God. He had … Read More >
