the Fires of Reformation...10/31/1517

back in the 16th century,
with darkness all around;
religion was so empty,
it was tradition bound.

for those in the high places,
who to the truth were blind;
their lies were propagated,
keeping the truth confined.

they taught to get forgiveness,
your money it would cost;
they gave no gospel witness,
no preaching of the Cross.

without such proclamation,
God's way could not be known;
the gospel of salvation,
by grace through faith alone..........

BUT,
amid such awful darkness,
at God's appointed time;
He made Himself a witness
to bring His Truth to light.

God raised up Martin Luther,
a monk in need of grace;
and taught him through the scripture,
the just shall live by faith.

with God his mighty fortress,
Luther began to teach;
that faith alone in Jesus,
was all a man did need.

This caused a great upheaval,
with many of his day;
the pope's men thought him evil,
while multitudes were saved.

Justification by faith in Christ, the battle cry, of eternal life...........

IT......WAS......TIME......!
For the Fires of Reformation to burn bright.
CHANGING TIMES......!
Now the Gospel of Grace would once again shine.

SHINE......!!!

Happy Reformation Day..!!!
