markyj987 Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I was just wondering if any one else's church celebrates Reformation Day and if so--are your services any different? I think with virtually all Lutheran churches it is celebrated in some fashion and A Mighty Fortress is our God is one of the hymns for that day.

johnf Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Never heard of it. Sounds like a good day to be in church though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swampfox Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Just as with all of our other religious holidays, the devil as worked to obscure or replace good holidays with fluff or evil. Christmas = Santa, Easter = bunnies and eggs, Reformation Day = demonic celebration of gore and death (Halloween). The greatest revival since the book of Acts occured at the time of the Reformation. The gospel was re-discovered and was again preached with power to the salvation of millions. The Bible was translated and given to the people for the first time. Our nation was birthed as a direct result of the Reformation. It should be celebrated by all liberty-loving Americans with as much vigor as July 4th. Read, if you have not, Foxes Book of Martyrs and learn of the Reformers. Or listen to a great sermon on the Reformation. http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=10270222537 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyj987 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 John, Reformation Day, October 31, is the anniversary of the day that Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the church at Wittenberg and is considered the start of the Protestant Reformation. (There were movements prior to this, of course, but once these were printed and distributed to the masses, the Reformation spread throughout Europe). It's a minor festival, but commemoration of a major political event and really the starting point for religious freedom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
