Today is a big day. Children around the world celebrate. Yes, it is the 495th anniversary of Martin Luther bravely addressing the corruptions of the church and posting his 95 Theses on the wall of the church in Wittenberg, Germany! He saw how far the church had strayed from the righteous, holy worship and sanctity of God. He posted his 95 Theses in a courageous attempt to bring the church back to a holy and pure relationship, not tainted by corruption, or rationalization that turned evil to good. He was not trying to start a revolution, though he became the father of the Protestant Revolution. All he wanted was to remind the church and its followers to stay true to the holy and pure life and practices God called them to, without greed or worldly values creeping in.
Happy 95 Thesis Day!
1 Timothy 1:3-5 (NIV)
As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer [4] or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work---which is by faith. [5] The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
