One Way You Should Emulate Martin Luther

by in

“For several years he [Martin Luther] read through the whole Bible twice a year, cover to cover. He characterized his reading with phrases like “rapping on it” or “knocking on it” for it to open; he “stormed” it or “tasted” individual verses.”—Thomas Kaufmann, A Short Life of Martin Luther, p 60.

 The Reformation was fueled by several factors, not least of which was the study of the Word of God. Luther, simultaneously saw himself as highly flawed and weak while also a recipient of God’s magnificent grace in Christ. His self-perception, life, and ministry flowed in large part from his constant study of Scripture.

 Yes, Luther was flawed. So are we. Yet, he saw the Grace of God in the Word of God.

 May we also follow the pattern of Luther in being ardent students of Scripture.

 Rich blessings flow when we regularly delve into the Word of God to gaze upon the glory of Christ.

 Yes, this post is short. Reading blogs should never be a substitute for the Word of God. Go read your Bible.

Update on Our Blog

After much prayer and consideration over the past year, we’ve decided to eliminate the comment section on our blog. Here’s why:

  1. some who hold to Lordship Salvation have been repeatedly using our comment section to proselytize;
  2. some of the interaction between the Lordship Salvation and Free Grace commenters has not been gracious or edifying;
  3. comments often veered off the subject of the blog;
  4. when individual comments were sometimes rejected by our moderator, the people involved often complained to us, our moderator, or even in the comment section itself; and
  5. our moderator does not want to moderate the blog any longer.
