THANKS BE TO GOD, for blessed saint and Catholic priest Martin Luther!!
A flawed man, like all those God powerfully uses, but used all the more powerfully by his dependence on God, instead of the corrupt religion of Rome.
He recovered the Gospel of Grace that billions may know salvation
He translated the Scriptures into the language of ordinary men and women
He introduced music into worship
He exposed the corruption of Rome
He broke the chains that bound the church and state
And so much more.
Those who criticize a caracture of Luther, do it based on ignorance.
Flawed, warts and all, standing in desperate need of the grace of God, God used Saint Luther in ways his critics will never be used nor understand.
His praise will be from the Father, “Well done, good and faithful servant!”
2 Corinthians 12:9
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.”
AMEN!
