Reformation Day

I like centennials. There's something special and worth celebrating about them, especially since they only happen once every hundred years. Today marks five hundred years -- half a millennium -- since Martin Luther nailed his legendary ninety-five theses to the church door, and the world has never been the same since. Did Luther have any idea his iconic act would start a movement that would impact millions, perhaps billions, and be remembered the world over in history to come? His boldness remains a challenge to us today, not only to strive for theological purity, but to stand alone against the tide. If you want to change your world, you must dare to be different, you must dare to make your voice heard . . . even if it will get you a Diet of Worms. History will thank you!
