Happy Reformation Day

Oh! You were expecting "Happy Halloween"?
So sorry to disappoint.

Much to the Horror of the Papacy and Religious leaders of his day Martin Luther wrote a list of 95 Theses protesting common church practice and ideology as unbiblical political babble. On October 31, 1517 he nailed, yes NAILED, the theses to the church door where everyone could read them.

The fact is that today Martin Luther would probably be considered a terrorist. He launched the Protestant Reformation. But what has happened? Where is the protest in Protestantism? Luther's ideas were that the religious practices made it impossible for people to fully be a part of a Christian life because these practices were exclusionary. But Haven't modern day protestants done much of the same thing. We protest political ideas, notions, laws, etc and have lost sight of what really matters to Heaven. The human soul. We've been caught up in things like abortion, gay rights, defending marriage, capitol punishment and do not even bat an eye at the person who will never have an open ear to the Gospel message because of these irrelevant stands. It's time for so-called Christians to stand up and LIVE the Christian life; a life of consideration, love and compassion, tolerance and understanding. Fuck the politics!
