I thank my God every time I remember you.In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 1:3-6

| On October 31, 1517 (495 years ago, this week) Dr. Martin Luther, a Theology professor at the University of Wittenburg, Germany posted 95 Theses on the Castle Church door- challenging Christians to discuss and debate what he believed to be errors and corruption in the church of the time. His hope was to reform the Church, not to start a new one. His main teachings were based on Romans 3:22 "...righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe." And Ephesians 2:8-9, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." |
"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong." ~2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (NIV)
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." ~Romans 5:8
"My child, keep my words and store up my commandments with you; keep my commandments and live, keep my teachings as the apple of your eye; bind them on your fingers, write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister’, and call insight your intimate friend."
- Proverbs 7:1-4
"Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it" ~Proverbs 22:6
"And let us hold unwaveringly to the hope that we confess, for the one who made the promise is trustworthy. And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works, not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day drawing near." ~Hebrews 10:23-25
(NET) Hebrews 10:11-12 "And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again - sacrifices that can never take! away sins.But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God"
