500 years of Reformation and it is time for a change

Today is October 31, 2017. 500 years since Luther became one of many catalysts of the Reformation. So many things have changed including the reasons for the 95 thesis. Many of his points are no longer points of contention.

What can be contended is the fighting that took place in the name of Christ and the sides that were drawn because all were claiming to be on Christ’s side. This has been just as much spiritual battle as it is a verbal battle and we need to choose to end the war and stop fanning the wrong flame.

I pray that the next 500 years will begin with a new reformation of the Church of Christ uniting. When this happens the Lord's prayer is fulfilled and His kingdom has come and His will is done on earth as is has always been in Heaven. When heaven and earth collide there is a spiritual awakening in our hearts as we unite with purpose.

God of Many names you are our sustainer and giver of life. Let us reflect this life in our neighborhoods, community and nation as we go to make disciples for your family. We declare this day that we will strive to be one, united with purpose to make your Great Name know to our generation as the God who can do all things and bring unity to your family.
