A Brief Reformation Day History and Some Reformation Resources

*This article largely is adapted from Steve Lawson’s book, Pillars of Grace, Chapter 20, “Fortress for Truth.”

Introduction

By the sixteenth century, God had uniquely positioned and prepared the Western world for what would come to be known as the Protestant Reformation. Closing out the Middle Ages and ushering in the beginning of modernity, the Reformation has been called the greatest event in history, next to the introduction of Christianity.1 Not only was the church, which at this time was the Roman Catholic Church, in dire need of reform, but at this point in history, even the secular world sat poised for a new beginning.

Others will be dressing up, attending secular or church-based festivals and trick-or-treating.  No matter how you are observing or not observing Halloween today, we’re asking Christians to be patient with one another, understand where the other side is coming from, and yes, continue to stand for God’s Word.

Here is some food for thought, reprinted from John MacArthur’s Grace To You site today:
