Reformation ends not in contemplation, but in action.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I must begin by telling you that I do not like to preach on Reformation Sunday. Actually, I have to put it more strongly than that. I do not like Reformation Sunday, period.
Reformation names the disunity in which we currently stand. We who remain in the Protestant tradition want to say that Reformation was a success.
The Reformation did not directly touch the question of the true character of God's church.
The Reformers, therefore, as instruments in the hands of God, in delivering the Church from bondage to prelates, did not make it a tumultuous multitude, in which every man was a law to himself, free to believe, and free to do what he pleased.
I'd like to write a history, maybe of the Reformation.
I am not sure I can make clear what it means to say I come from the Catholic side of Protestantism, but at the very least, it means that I do not think Christianity began with the Reformation.
I've learned that even the word 'jubilee' used in connection with the Reformation can give rise to discussions.
A true initiation never ends.
The church which ceases to be evangelistic will soon cease to be evangelical.
Reformation, like education, is a journey, not a destination.
