“Hier stehe Ich, Ich kann nicht anders.”*

Today is Reformation Day, which commemorates Martin Luther’s action in nailing the Ninety-Five Theses to the church door at Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. Little did he know how the Lord would use him to ignite a movement that would change the world. This was, indeed, a very big deal–one of those “hinges” in history that we talk about.

Here’s Kevin DeYoung’s take on the glory of the Reformation and the importance of a clean conscience.

I interrupted my October scary-movie line-up to watch Luther (2003) starring Joseph Fiennes (and an excellent cast of British and German actors) as this is my new tradition. I highly recommend it. You can also watch Ligonier’s “Luther: The Life and Legacy of the German Reformer” on YouTube:

Here are 5 Things you Should Know about Martin Luther. And if you thought the RC veneration of relics was a thing of the past, you are quite wrong.

Well, I will drink a beer in honor of old Martin Luther tonight because that seems appropriate.

In other news, we turned on the heat because it turned frigid over the weekend.

I guess fall is (almost) over.

*Here I stand, I can do no other.” (Martin Luther)
