Martin Luther (341)
  1. Christ is present in the pure preaching of the gospel. And if Christ is present, then we have entered into the domain of the sacraments.
  2. Is it possible to celebrate Thanksgiving every time we come together as God’s people as well?
  3. The Reformation was yet another era of history when God’s people were faced with the question that Jesus asked his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?”
  4. Dr. Paulson talks about how monastic life and satisfaction for sin outside of Christ harm not only the gospel but our understanding of the law.
  5. In honor of the upcoming Reformation Day, Craig and Troy discuss the history, background, and gospel importance of the Lutheran Reformation.
  6. Erasmus sought to find meaning behind the words of Scripture in order to make an ultimate claim. Luther, on the other hand, found the Gospel to be meaningless outside of Christ and his Cross.
  7. Trust may risk, but trust produces a sense of assurance letting us rest easy and enjoy peace while it drives us to ventures which may seem dangerous but are possible to do because trust defies the dangers.
  8. The church’s reformation is not about fragmentation, but a way forward to unity around that which is central to the church, around Christ and him crucified.
  9. Luther understood when the Word of God came it did not offer sinners a choice.
  10. Even if not a turning point, 1518 is a point of no return for Luther.
  11. The way to salvation does not consist in works invented by men, but that which leads to God is believing and trusting in Him.
  12. For Luther, Erasmus’ Christ-less, Spirit-less theological conclusions demonstrated that behind his supposed humanistic optimism lay a profound despair and pessimism.
