Reformation Sunday
Today is Reformation Sunday. It commemorates the sending of a letter on October 31,
1517 by Martin Luther to the Archbishop of Mainz in which he advanced "Ninety-five
Theses" to protest the practice of selling indulgences. The sending of this letter is
generally regarded as the "official" beginning of the Protestant Reformation some 499
years ago. Over against the distortions of the gospel that characterized the Roman
Catholic Church at that point in history, the Reformers re-asserted several basic
convictions about the gospel, namely that salvation is
 by God’s grace alone
 revealed through scripture alone
 received through faith alone
 accomplished by Christ alone
 all for the glory of God alone.
The Reformers also realized that the work of reformation is never perfect or
complete. Thus, the church is called to the on-going task of reforming its teaching and
practice in the light of the word of God and bearing faithful witness in each
generation. Martin Luther's "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", a paraphrase of Psalm 46,
is still the "theme song" of the Reformation movement.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.
For the kingdom and the power and the glory are yours forever. Amen.

“Righteous are you, O LORD, and your laws are right.
The statutes you have laid down are righteous; they are fully trustworthy.
Your promises have been thoroughly tested, and your servant loves them.
Your righteousness is everlasting and your law is true.
Trouble and distress have come upon me, but your commands are my delight.
Your statutes are forever right; give me understanding that I may live.”
