Reformation Day

I was certainly amiss in not making some fuss on Sunday...yesterday 493 years ago a German Monk named Martin Luther nailed a document called the 95 thesis to the door of the church in Wittenberg in opposition to un-biblical and heretical teaching by the Roman Catholic church.

That document began one of the most revolutionary movements in human history the Reformation. It changed the face of Europe and thankfully it changed the church. We at PVFC are one of the fruits of Luther's movement to return us to the grace of Jesus.

The five major statements defining the heart of the Reformation was:
  • Scripture alone
  • Faith alone
  • Grace alone
  • Jesus alone
  • For God's glory alone
Thanks Martin for what you did so that we could know Jesus and his mercy for repentant sinners like us!
