Righteousness in the Land of Forgetfulness

Have God's people forgotten? When we forget, we fall by the way.

The Reformation that began with Martin Luther 488 years ago must continue today. We must always be reforming - seeking first the kingdom of God - and His righteousness. We must base our reform on sola Scriptura - the authority of Scripture.

The Confession points to our source - Scripture. Luther called us back to our foundation - the Word of God. Let's not forget what came before us, the creeds, the councils, the work of the church. But let our authority be known - for the

“better preserving and propagating of the truth, and for the more sure establishment and comfort of the Church against the corruption of the flesh, and the malice of Satan and of the world, to commit the same wholly unto writing; which maketh the holy Scripture to be most necessary.” (WCF 1:1)

Are your wonders known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? - Psalm 88:12 Let us not forget!

Thursday, we watch the film Luther and than move on to Chapter 2 - Of God, and of the Holy Trinity. I hate to move on, but much awaits us we look the “one only living and true God”. Shorter Catechism assignments, memory verse and hymn will be discussed in the next post. Happy Reformation Week!
