Reformation Day (-1) Ping
Waiting for the Romanists to show up in 1...2...
:::”God has granted American Christianity no Reformation. He has given it strong Revivalist preachers, churchman, and theologians, but no Reformation of the church of Jesus Christ by the word of God.:::
Does the American Restoration Movement not count?
Lots of people think quotes are from the Bible that are not from the Bible. How about "Cleanliness is next to Godliness," or this one, always uttered sanctimoniously: "God will not give you more than you can bear." Linguistic analysts could have a field day with that second one.
Sola Gratia
Sola Fide
Solus Christus
Sola Scriptura
Soli Deo Gloria
AMEN!
The Battle Hymn of the Reformation
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of Gods own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: Gods truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
AMEN! Semper Reformanda!
