THANK GOD! For Blessed Saint Father Martin Luther!!

Like every man God uses greatly, he was flawed.

Yet God used Saint Luther to recover the Gospel of Grace and to lead millions to salvation!

Thank you for posting this thread and for making it an open thread.

Luther

With conscience cocked to listen for the thunder,
He saw the Devil busy in the wind,
Over the chiming steeples and then under
The doors of nuns and doctors who sinned.

What apparatus could stave off disaster
Or cut the brambles of man’s error down?
Flesh was a silent dog that bites its master,
World a still pond in which its children drown.

The fuse of Judgement spluttered in his head:
“Lord, smoke these honeyed insects from their hives.
All Works, Great Men, Societies are bad.
The Just shall live by Faith...” he cried in dread.

And men and women of the world were glad,
Who’d never cared or trembled in their lives.

Indeed.

Yes. God used Him mightily to restore the gospel of grace to a world that desperately needs it

[boatbums]

Amen!

We still face great danger. With Luther, there was no warning, just 95 absurd theses appearing out of thin air.

Speaking out against corruption in Catholicism is *absurd*???

That speaks volumes.

For all of his faults, Martin Luther did more for the Kingdom of Heaven than anybody else since the Apostle Paul.

I thank The Lord for his bravery in the face of such opposition.
