En 1536, la Primera Confesión Helvética unificó a Zúrich, Berna, Basilea y aliados en 27–28 artículos (latín/alemán) redactados por Bullinger, Leo Jud, Myconius, Grynäus y Megander, con Bucer y Capito como mediadores. Su meta: asegurar el Bündnis interno y abrir un canal con Lutero.  En doctrina, fijó un comienzo sorprendente: Sola Scriptura y reglas de interpretación bíblica (la Escritura se interpreta a sí misma), delineó Iglesia, ministerio y disciplina (Kirchenbann) y proclamó al magistrado como custos utriusque tabulae (cuidado de religión y justicia).  En los sacramentos apostó por una fórmula irénica: cœna mystica—“se exhibe la verdadera comunión del cuerpo y sangre de Cristo”—que permitió conversar sin ceder la comprensión espiritual reformada.  El episodio narra su génesis en el sínodo de Basilea, su uso junto con la Declaratio de Zúrich y por qué, aunque triunfó como pacto suizo, fracasó como concordia con Wittenberg. Explicamos también su eclipse por la Helvética posterior (1566) y cómo su transmisión manuscrita, frente al nuevo confesionalismo impreso, selló su destino.

It was a return to the gospel buried under layers of religion.The Reformation BeginsMartin Luther, a German monk, struggled with guilt and never felt good enough for God.

Send us a textA coin in the coffer, a soul released—Tetzel's famous pitch turned grace into a marketplace. We go straight to the fault line it exposed and still exposes: are we justified by faith plus works, or by faith that works? Walking from the medieval penance and indulgence economy to Wittenberg's doors, we set the historical stage for a sharper reading of Scripture and then open Romans 3 and James 2 side by side.We make a crucial distinction that unlocks the tension. Paul speaks to the courtroom of God: justification by faith apart from works silences pride and rests in Christ's imputed righteousness. James speaks to the watching world: a claim of faith that never feeds the hungry or alters a life is dead on arrival. Before God, faith alone saves. Before people, works alone show that faith is real. Think of it like a newborn's cry—it doesn't create life; it proves life exists. That's how visible obedience functions in authentic Christianity.Along the way, we revisit Luther's conversion in Romans, the 95 Theses amplified by the printing press, and the abuses of selling indulgences and venerating relics. Then we hold a steady course through Scripture: the Pharisee and the tax collector in Luke 18, Paul's “where then is boasting?” and James's blunt “what use is it?” The goal is clarity without compromise: defend the gospel with Paul against faith plus works, and demonstrate the gospel with James against faith that doesn't work. You'll come away with a richer grasp of justification, sanctification, and how to make your faith visible in ordinary acts of love and courage.If this helped sharpen your understanding, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves church history and Scripture, and leave a review telling us where you see living faith at work today.Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

James 2:14-26. In this message we explore one of the most debated topics in church history: faith and works. From Martin Luther's bold stand at Wittenberg to James' challenge to believers, we'll wrestle with timeless questions: Is faith enough? Do works matter? And what does a living faith really look like? Join us as we dive deep into Scripture to rediscover that we are saved by grace alone through faith, yet that very faith should move us to action. Because faith without works is dead—and a living faith changes lives.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

This October 31st marked 508 years since Martin Luther posted the 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany. In the many years since this world-changing event, the Protestant/Evangelical church has gone through many evolutions. Some were times of great revival and others were times of suffering, wars, and into the 1800s, many new denominations were formed. Instead of recognizing the pagan Halloween day, it's important for Christians to remember their roots. This episode of 2Days Denarius shares stories and some of the heroes of the Reformation and beyond. It will also take a look at the motto, "Semper Reformanda," which means "the church reformed and always reforming." It's always a good questions to ask, "How are we doing with that?" In the end, we discover it is a question of the heart. Are we truly following the Lord Jesus Christ and the mission He called us to do on earth? We must each answer this question.Song "Holy Is the Lord" is used by permission of songwriter/performer Pastor Steve Hereford of the Changed By Grace Church in Jacksonville FL.

Reformation Day, celebrated on October 31st, marks one of the most transformative moments in church history — the day Martin Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517. In today's prayer and devotional, we reflect on the fact that though Luther never sought to divide the Church, his bold stand for truth and his devotion to Scripture became a catalyst for reformation and renewal across the Christian world. As Lynette Kittle reflects, Luther wasn’t a rebel or revolutionary — he was a truth seeker who rediscovered the heart of the Gospel: we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone (Ephesians 2:8). His translation of the Bible into German opened the Word of God to everyday people, making Scripture accessible to all who longed to know God personally. Today, we commemorate Reformation Day not only as a historic event but as a call to continue valuing God’s Word above all else. Scripture is living and active — teaching, correcting, and equipping us for righteousness. Let us be inspired by Luther’s example to study God’s Word deeply and boldly share the Good News of salvation by grace alone. Today's Bible Reading:“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.” – 2 Timothy 3:16

What gives someone the courage to stand up for truth—even when it costs them everything? Martin Luther’s bold stand for the Gospel wasn’t born from rebellion but from revelation. Rooted in Ephesians 2:8, his discovery that salvation comes by grace through faith ignited a movement that changed history. Having the heart of a reformer means loving God, loving His Church, and being unwilling to compromise the truth of Scripture—no matter the consequences. Highlights A reformer’s heart begins with a deep passion to draw close to God and live by His Word. Luther’s relentless study of Scripture led him to uncover the truth of salvation by grace, not works. True reformers love the Church enough to seek its correction, not its destruction. Luther’s bold action—nailing his 95 Theses—sparked a spiritual awakening that shaped Christianity. Sharing the truth requires courage, humility, and a willingness to face rejection. Luther’s legacy reminds us that faithfulness to God’s Word outweighs fear of man. Every believer is called to carry that same conviction—to speak truth in love and protect the purity of the Gospel.

Paypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/editorialtpv El día de hoy hablaremos sobre el capítulo 30 del libro The Oxford Handbook of the Protestant Reformations, titulado “Music”, por Christopher Boyd Brown. Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  ¿Cómo sonaba la Reforma? Este episodio cuenta la revolución del “paisaje sonoro” que convirtió a los cristianos en oyentes y cantores (fides ex auditu): himnos vernáculos luteranos que salieron del coro escolar a la plaza; salmos métricos ginebrinos que disciplinaron la piedad como oración común; y hasta silencios programáticos en Zúrich, donde Zwinglio expulsó órgano y polifonía. También visitamos Inglaterra, donde el salterio de Sternhold y Hopkins colonizó parroquias y hogares, y escuchamos a anabaptistas cantando martirios en manuscritos clandestinos. El resultado no fue “música sí / música no”, sino modelos rivales: para Lutero, canto como proclamación sonora; para Calvin, canto como oración regulada; para muchas ciudades, una pedagogía que pasó por escuelas, imprentas y casas. La Reforma se impuso tanto por lo que se predicó como por lo que se cantó (y dejó de cantarse): nuevos timbres, nuevas coreografías del culto y una industria editorial que vendió fe en octavos. Así nació una Europa que aprendió doctrina a varias voces… y marcó su identidad confesional con melodías.

Romanos 1:17Hace ya más de quinientos años, un día como hoy, Martín Lutero clavó sus 95 tesis en la puerta de la catedral de Wittenberg. En ellas protestaba contra la venta de indulgencias y abogaba por una fe sincera que produjera buenas obras. Permíteme compartir contigo dos de las 95 tesis de Lutero que resumen la esencia del tratado:36. Todo cristiano que siente sincero arrepentimiento y contrición por sus pecados, tiene perfecta remisión de penas y culpas, aun sin cartas de indulgencia.45. Debe enseñarse a los cristianos que el que ve a un indigente y, sin prestarle atención, da su dinero para comprar indulgencias, lo que obtiene en verdad no son las indulgencias papales, sino la indignación de Dios.Aunque estas declaraciones pueden parecernos lógicas hoy en día, en 1517 eran ideas revolucionarias. ¿Cómo llegó Lutero a semejantes conclusiones en una época en la que la venta de indulgencias era la norma? Mediante la experiencia personal. Su lucha contra la venta de indulgencias fue el resultado de su lucha contra la culpa. «A veces se iba a acostar con el corazón angustiado, pensando con temor en el sombrío porvenir, y viendo en Dios a un juez inexorable y un cruel tirano más bien que un bondadoso Padre celestial».Lutero mismo describió su angustia mental con las siguientes palabras: «Yo, cuando era fraile, creía que se acababa mi salvación, tan pronto me ocurriera sentir la concupiscencia de la carne, es decir, un mal impulso, un deseo (libido), un movimiento de cólera, de odio o de envidia [...]. No sabía cómo sosegarme. Estaba constantemente crucificado con pensamientos como este: "He aquí que la envidia y la impaciencia todavía te atormentan">. ¿Cómo encontrar la paz en medio de una lucha así? Lutero la halló en la Biblia, concretamente en el versículo de hoy: «El justo por la fe vivirá» (Romanos 1: 17).Encontrar en la Biblia la idea de que somos salvos por gracia (ver Efesios 2:8) transformó el corazón de Lutero. Sus dudas se disiparon para dar paso a la fe. Sus temores desaparecieron y la fe y la confianza en Dios renacieron en él. La guerra en su interior cesó y al fin hubo paz en él. Han pasado más de quinientos años desde entonces, pero el mundo todavía necesita saber que «el justo por la fe vivirá». 

The defeat of evil and of demonic powers is associated with Halloween. For this reason, Martin Luther posted his 95 challenges to the wicked practices of the Church to the bulletin board on the door of the Wittenberg chapel on Halloween. He picked his day with care, and ever since Halloween has also been Reformation Day. The power of Satan has been broken once and for all, and our children can mock him by dressing up like ghosts, goblins, and witches.

Most people think of October 31st as Halloween—but it’s also Reformation Day, a cornerstone of Christian history that forever changed how believers understand salvation. Rooted in Romans 5:1–2, this devotional reminds us that faith—not works—justifies us before God. Martin Luther’s courage to challenge corruption in the church reignited the truth of salvation by grace alone through faith alone, and his bold stand still calls us to live out the Gospel with conviction today. Highlights Reformation Day commemorates October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door. Luther’s actions reclaimed the biblical truth that salvation comes by grace through faith, not by works or wealth. His translation of the Bible into German gave ordinary people access to God’s Word for the first time. Today, over 700 languages have Scripture translations—a legacy of the Reformation’s impact. Believers are called to guard against modern distortions of the Gospel, like prosperity or works-based teachings. Living out Reformation truths means boldly proclaiming salvation through Christ alone and standing firm in sound doctrine.

Title: Luther's Pilgrimage of Faith; The Power of Personal Testimony Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Date: 26 October 2025 Bible: Romans 1:17 This sermon centres on the transformative power of a personal testimony, exemplified through Martin Luther's journey from spiritual despair to profound faith, rooted in Romans 1:17—the just shall live by faith. It traces Luther's early life burdened by fear of a wrathful God, his rigorous monastic efforts to attain peace through works, and his eventual breakthrough upon studying Scripture in Wittenberg, where he discovered salvation by grace through faith alone. The sermon emphasizes that true righteousness comes not through church rituals or personal merit, but through a direct, personal relationship with Christ, who bore humanity's sin and imputes His righteousness. This revelation—what Luther called the 'great exchange'—liberates believers from legalism and invites all to experience the gospel's life-changing power. The tone is both pastoral and urgent, calling listeners to examine their own hearts and embrace the same faith that freed Luther, urging them to know God personally and share that testimony with boldness.

For centuries, we've pictured Martin Luther hammering his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg—but history says otherwise.In this episode, we uncover what really happened on October 31, 1517, why the famous hammer-and-door scene is a legend, and why truth matters more than the myth.

Este episodio radiografía el “fenómeno Lutero”: del estallido de 1517 a la ola editorial que convirtió a Wittenberg en central telefónica de Europa, con humanistas, redes agustinianas y prensas disparando folletos en latín y vernáculos.  Seguimos su arco: profesor, predicador, traductor de la Biblia y autor de catecismos e himnos que reeducaron hogares y oficios —un cristianismo del libro y de la canción que moldeó la piedad luterana durante siglos.  Recorremos también los choques que definieron fronteras: la controversia eucarística, la partición con los reformados y, tras su muerte, las tormentas internas (adiáforas, ley y evangelio, sinergia) que desembocaron en la Fórmula de Concordia y el Libro de Concordia (1580).  Sin reducirlo a un único “Lutero”, presentamos las lecturas en disputa —del enfoque agustiniano-tardomedieval a la “deificación” finlandesa— y preguntamos por qué, cinco siglos después, su voz sigue marcando el tempo de nuestra conversación sobre autoridad, libertad y comunidad.

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& .  ¿Se conmemora o se discute la Reforma? Este episodio explora cómo Europa (y más allá) ha recordado, escenificado y disputado el legado protestante: desde jubileos nacionales y rutas turísticas hasta controversias patrimoniales como la Martin-Luther-Gedächtniskirche de Berlín-Mariendorf, donde símbolos del Tercer Reich tensan el relato público.  Frente a triunfalismos, emergen lecturas críticas y gestos ecuménicos —del documento From Conflict to Communion a programaciones oficiales de Luther 2017— que convierten la memoria en foro de reconciliación… y de marketing cultural (Brand Luther).  Pero la memoria también se cocina abajo: festivales en Wittenberg, museos locales, estatuas, medallas y “paisajes de la Reforma” donde historia, identidad y consumo se entrelazan.  ¿Qué ganamos al mirar estas capas? Entendemos que la Reforma no es un pasado muerto, sino un presente performativo: cada aniversario reescribe quiénes fuimos y quiénes queremos ser. Entre altares musealizados y plazas llenas, este episodio pone el oído a una pregunta incómoda: ¿recordamos para celebrar, para reparar… o para vender recuerdos?

Este episodio abre la puerta del obrador tipográfico: compositor, corrector y tiradores trabajando a músculo entre chasquidos de la prensa, pilas de papel secándose y plazos imposibles. Allí nació una innovación decisiva —la portada— que transformó el deseo de leer en compra impulsiva.   De Mainz a los grandes polos (París, Lyon, Venecia, Basilea), el sector se concentró; pero Wittenberg rompió el mapa: con Lutero y la estética de Cranach, el libro aprendió a “vestirse” —marcos, blancos y el nombre “Luther/Wittenberg” bien grande—: Brand Luther. La fiebre de los Flugschriften hizo accesible la teología en tiradas cortas y baratas; Leipzig se hundió bajo censura, mientras Frankfurt marcaba el pulso de un mercado ya continental. Cuando llegaron los Índices y edictos, surgieron redes clandestinas: Amberes para Inglaterra, Ginebra para Francia, Emden para los Países Bajos; el exilio afinó estrategias de camuflaje tipográfico. Resultado: la imprenta no solo difundió ideas; creó lectores, marcas, rutas y hábitos de compra. Sin ese ecosistema de talleres y ferias, la Reforma habría sido un murmullo. Con él, fue un estruendo que aún nos llega impreso.

We need a coffee break every once in a while.It is fall time. I got my fall background up here. I love fall. This morning, I went for a walk. I probably could have even put a jacket on, and I live in Texas, and it's still September. I am so excited. So, I don't know what your weather is like, but it has been getting cooler here as well.Today, what I want to do is talk to you about a time in the fall season that Christians often struggle with, and that is Halloween. What are we doing? I want to talk to you about some alternatives to Halloween.We are releasing this, and this Wednesday, we are going to have a Facebook party that will dive more into fall alternatives to Halloween. So I hope you will join me. It is in Facebook. There'll be some freebies in there, but there'll be some great resources as well.Halloween Doesn't Have to Be About Darkness or FearToday, what I want to share with you are some Christ-centered and some family-friendly alternatives that you can use in your family, in your home, and in your home school as well. And let's talk about fall traditions.If you are listening to this and there is a place to put a comment, leave a comment and let me know what's one of your fall traditions. We all have Christmas traditions, or Thanksgiving traditions. What are some traditions during the fall time?You know, I love the cooler weather. We did decorate pumpkins, and we still decorate pumpkins. My kids carved a pumpkin when they were younger. I remember one time I bought these big jewel stickers and bought one of those small little pumpkins for my two oldest granddaughters. They were probably like 2 and 4, 3 and 5, and they could just put those stickers all over wherever they wanted, and they had their own little decorated pumpkin, their jeweled pumpkin, we could say.What fall traditions do you want your kids to remember? When we lived in Idaho, we went apple picking, and then we would make apple cider right there. Some of y'all might go through those corn mazes. I've done that, not with my kids, but I've done it with Steve and with some adults as well. And then some of you might go to just a pumpkin patch. I know in Dallas, they have a beautiful arboretum completely decorated with all the fall stuff there is.So, what are some family traditions you might have for fall?Christ-Centered Alternatives to HalloweenNow let's move on to Christ-centered alternatives to Halloween. You know, the world, it seems like, has hijacked all Hallows' Eve. But we can take it back for holiness and for light.It is a dark holiday now, let's be honest, but we stand for the light, the light of Jesus Christ. And so, let's talk about some alternative things you might do during October, during the last week of October, and how you could really focus on the light of the world.Family Praise Night: Maybe just have some families over and have a family praise night, where everyone brings a dessert, and y'all sing some songs and share testimonies of God's work in your family.Light Bags: Maybe you could do like the light bags, and everyone in your neighborhood just gets the little sandwich bags, and they can decorate it, maybe even cut holes if you want, and put a candle, or if you don't want to do a candle, you could put those little electric candles in there. Then line them up on your sidewalk, or line them up across the front of your house as well. You might decorate them with Bible verses if you want.Heroes of the Faith Costume: Maybe everyone chooses a Bible character and dresses up as a Bible character, and you come ready to tell at least one little fact each child does about the person that they have dressed up. So, they're going to be learning, and they get to dress up as well.Harvest of Blessings Night: I have done this, and I do not have a picture of it. We took a big piece of brown paper wrap paper, and I just drew a tree with branches, but no leaves. Then we cut out leaves out of orange, yellow, brown, those colors, and each leaf, you would write a blessing that you have. You could start it in October and continue it into November during Thanksgiving as well. Be our blessings tree, or our thanks tree. Add to it all season long. And then, at Thanksgiving, be able to sit down and read through some of the blessings that you've had in the past two months.Scripture Scavenger Hunt: You could do a scripture scavenger hunt, where you hide verses around the house, or around the yard, and maybe tied to a little prize or a little treat. But each verse is connected to some themes, the theme of light, the theme of courage, or the theme of God's protection.Service Night: I love this idea, it's called Service Night. Be a light in your community. Maybe you bake some cookies, and you are the light to maybe our first responders that are around there. You could put little verses tied onto some little Ziplocs, like you could put some cookies in there, and put some verses in there that go along with Jesus being the light. So, this teaches our kids the joy of giving instead of always getting.Celebrating Reformation Day: Our Family TraditionI want to share a story of something that we did personally, and that was Reformation Day. We did, I guess most of the ones we did were lunches. We did it at lunchtime, and we celebrated Reformation Day, October 31st, All Hallows' Eve. It's the eve of All Hallows Day on November 1st.And where did this all come about? Now, let me just say, whether you are Catholic, or Protestant, I don't really care. You still need to know what history has to say. I am... we grew up... we lean... we are Protestant, and we taught our kids the Protestant faith. But they still learned the Catholic faith. They learned about it. I wanted them to be able to think through any of those situations, anything like that. So, regardless of what your perspective and your theology is, I think it's important that we share this with our kids.The Story of Martin Luther and the 95 ThesesWe begin with Martin Luther, because on October 31st in the 1500s, he was a German monk and a teacher. He loved God, and he wanted everyone to understand the Bible. But the church at that time was asking people to pay for their forgiveness, like, give money. They are called indulgences. And many people were very confused about it, and actually some were upset. The poor people felt like they got wrangled around.And so, Martin Luther wrote these statements, 95 statements, and we call them 95 Theses. And explain what he thought the church should fix, and how it should work, and how we needed to rethink some of the things that the church was doing. I'm going to read a few of these. These are not complaints, they are just questions and ideas.Salvation is a gift from God, not bought with money. Repentance means changing your heart, not just giving money. The Pope cannot forgive sins with money. Christ followers should focus on faith and good works, not paying for forgiveness. Preachers should teach God's Word. Money cannot cleanse the soul, only God can. The church should help the poor, not profit from their guilt. Christians should study the Bible for themselves.That was a new concept. We have Bibles everywhere. And yet, they didn't even have it in their own language. That was William Tyndale, was one of the first people that starts translating the Latin Bible, the Vulgate, into English. Eventually, they started translating from the Greek and the Hebrew. He was on the run and ended up dying, but he was one of the first men trying to translate the actual Bible into the English language. The authority of the Bible is higher than the authority of the Pope.On October 31st, 1517, he took this paper and he went and nailed it to the door of the Wittenberg church. The church door, in that time, acted like a bulletin board. So when there were any announcements or notices, people could just go nail them up there, and that's what Martin Luther did. And people began to read these theses, and they shared them widely. This started a movement called the Reformation.Why Reformation Day Matters TodayNow, there's a lot more that goes over. That is just a simple view. You can teach it to your kids at different levels, but I think it's important. Why is this important? Because we need to sometimes question our church leaders, even today. You should always go back to the Bible and use the Bible. I mean, if they're doing something that goes against the Bible, then that is something you need to consider. Maybe that's not the place that you need to be attending church.This also eventually helped people read and understand the Bible for themselves in their own language, and it changed church history forever. No matter where you are, and I sort of see the church in Roman Catholicism, Greek Orthodox, and then the Protestant movement. I want to say it was protesting, and that's how we get the word Protestant, protesting Catholics and Roman Catholics, if I remember correctly.You see, the big picture is God used this reformation to bring truth, encourage and revival to that society. It actually makes me think a little bit about today. God is using something evil to bring about truth and courage and revival here in the United States. And hopefully around the world.I mentioned that last week, but you know, you could go and look. There are martyrs that died for their faith. You could go through and study some of them. I think I have the book here. There is Book of Martyrs, but this is a kid's version of Trial and Triumph, and this is stories from church history. This would be a great place for you to get started in sharing stories, and some of them are martyrs, and some of them are people that were just strong and courageous in their faith, and so that would be something that could tie in. That would be an alternative to Halloween, if you want to dive deep into this.How to Host Your Own Reformation Day PartyAnother thing, and this is what we did, we studied this time period, and then we had a Reformation Day party. We invited families, every family was responsible for bringing one food dish and hosting a booth. That booth could be a game, it could be a craft.We had some stairs up at the front of my house, and so, one of them had them, like, climbing, because at that time in the cathedral, they had to crawl up these stairs when they would go to Rome. We had people making candles at that time, because you needed candles for life. There are all different things you could do. We would always sing some songs, we might even act out a play based on one of our reformers, depending on who we were choosing, whether I think we... I know we did Martin Luther, John Calvin, Martin Bucer, any of those, and then we would always fellowship over a meal.And so that's really cool. How about you weave Reformation history into your home school, even with just one activity? You know, I think it's really important. You could host a party. It's not that hard. You don't have to do all of it. Spread the love and let other people come and bring activities for your kids. Our first one, my kids even dressed up. They made costumes, and they dressed up like a woman back in that time period, or a man.So, enjoy your family fall traditions that creates memories, look for alternatives to Halloween that point your family to Christ, and then celebrate Reformation Day to root your kids in church history. And I would encourage you to plan right now, this week, first week of October, what is one thing that you will do in October that's an alternative to Halloween, if that's something you want to do?Ready-to-Go Reformation Day ResourcesIf you'd like something that's a ready-to-go activities, I have something called a Reformation Day unit study. I pulled it together. You're going to get a book list, you're going to get stories about it, you get a slide presentation on different reformers. We have videos as well. There are recipes in there, and you know, a unit study takes the topic, and then we provide all the different subjects, history, and science, and art, and cooking, and Bible, and character, and literature. You get a little bit of all of that, and then you can pick and choose what it is you want for your family.If you happen to be listening to this, the week that this episode is published, this unit study is on sale, and so you can use the link below to be able to save some money on that Reformation Unit Study. You can get it at any time. People have bought it at all times of the year. But, right now, if you'd like to save a little money, just use the link in the coupon code CODE REF25, and you'll be able to save a little bit money as well.Hey, if you have a comment or question, reach out to me, you know, email me, DM me. If you have gotten just one little tip out of here, would you please share this with another Christian mom or another homeschool mom to help them, that would mean the world to me. Or, leave a 5-star review, because that means we can get this out to more and more people. Moms don't have the time to pull all this together, and they just need some creative ideas.Hey, thanks for spending time with me. I am Kerry Beck with Homeschool Coffee Break. We'll talk to you next time.

En el Mes de la Reforma, celebramos 508 años desde que Martín Lutero clavó las 95 Tesis en Wittenberg el 31 de octubre de 1517. Este acto valiente no solo desafió la venta de indulgencias y la falta de acceso a la Palabra de Dios, sino que reavivó una verdad crucial y transformadora: la justificación por la fe (Sola Fide).Este mensaje central, tomado del profeta Habacuc ("el justo por la fe vivirá," Habacuc 2:4) y desarrollado por el apóstol Pablo en su carta a los Romanos (Romanos 1:17), se convirtió en el fundamento de la Reforma Protestante y en una luz para el mundo.

Ver aquí: https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-the-protestant-reformations-9780199646920?cc=gb&lang=en& . ¿Se puede mapear la fe? Este episodio descubre por qué los mapas clásicos de la Reforma engañan: colorean estados, pero borran minorías, ambivalencias y enclaves donde católicos y protestantes compartieron calles, fiestas y fronteras porosas. Seguimos el latido real del cambio: ciudades-imán, ríos y puertos que llevaron ideas, libros y pastores; lenguas que conectaron Wittenberg con el Báltico y Ginebra con el Atlántico; y una Europa que nunca fue un tablero de casillas fijas, sino un mosaico móvil de lealtades en disputa. Miramos el norte luterano, el arco reformado suizo, Polonia-Lituania y Transilvania multiconfesional; repasamos por qué las murallas de una ciudad o un decreto regio rara vez bastaron para rehacer conciencias; y cómo la práctica cotidiana —viajar el domingo para oír culto, negociar ayunos, cruzar límites parroquiales— dibujó “fronteras” más reales que las políticas. Al final, proponemos otra cartografía: menos bloques, más caminos; menos colores planos, más superposiciones. Así se entiende la Europa que aprendió a vivir, discutir y rezar a través de líneas difusas.

Wieso kommt Bildungspolitik nicht in der Schule an? In dieser Folge spreche ich über das Vermittlungsproblem zwischen den verschiedenen Ebenen der Bildungspolitik, wie ich sie in einem Reel auf Instagram angeteasert habe. Dies alles tue ich unter dem Eindruck des "Nationalen Bildungsforums" in Wittenberg, das unter dem Motto Vom Erkennen zum Handeln und zurück. Für ein neues Miteinander von Bildungsforschung, Bildungspolitik und Bildungspraxis stand. Ich freue mich über Kommentare in den jeweiligen Podcastplayern oder auf Instagram. Vor allem in Bezug auf die Komplexität, die ich versucht habe, auf ein nachvollziehbares Maß zu begrenzen. Sponsor dieser Folge: Herolé Direkt zu den Angeboten von Herolé

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Official Christianity, of late years, has been having what is known ‘as a bad press'. We are constantly assured that the churches are empty because preachers insist too much upon doctrine — dull dogma as people call it. The fact is the precise opposite. It is the neglect of dogma that makes for dullness. The Christian faith is the most exciting drama that ever staggered the imagination of man — and the dogma is the drama…. That God should play the tyrant over man is a dismal story of unrelieved oppression; that man should play the tyrant over man is the usual dreary record of human futility; but that man should play the tyrant over God and find him a better man than himself is an astonishing drama indeed. Any journalist, hearing of it for the first time, would recognize it as news; those who did hear it for the first time actually called it news, and good news at that; though we are likely to forget that the word Gospel ever meant anything so sensational.”~Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957), novelist and playwright, in “The Greatest Drama Ever Staged” “Let us become like Christ, since Christ became like us. He assumed the worse that He might give us the better; He became poor that we through His poverty might be rich.”~Gregory of Nazianzus (329-390), 4th century church leader and theologian “Once, when Paul came to Athens, a mighty city, he found in the temple many ancient altars, and he went from one to the other and looked at them all, but he did not kick down a single one of them with his foot. Rather he stood up in the middle of the marketplace and said they were nothing but idolatrous things and begged the people to forsake them; yet he did not destroy one of them by force. When the Word took hold of their hearts, they forsook them of their own accord, and in consequence the thing fell of itself…. For the Word created heaven and earth and all things; the Word must do this thing, and not we poor sinners.”~Martin Luther, at his return to Wittenberg under an Imperial death threat (March 10, 1522) “I would propose that the subject of the ministry in this house, as long as this platform shall stand, and as long as this house shall be frequented by worshippers, shall be the person of Jesus Christ. I am never ashamed to avow myself a Calvinist; I do not hesitate to take the name of Baptist; but if I am asked what is my creed, I reply, ‘It is Jesus Christ.' …Christ Jesus, who is the sum and substance of the gospel, who is in himself all theology, the incarnation of every precious truth, the all-glorious personal embodiment of the way, the truth, and the life.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), his first words at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London “As for me, my charter is Jesus Christ, the inviolable charter is His cross and His death and resurrection, and faith through Him.”~Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35 - c. 107), student of John the Apostle “…upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.”~Jesus in Matthew 16:18SERMON PASSAGEselected passages (ESV)Romans 1 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous man shall live by faith.” 1 Corinthians 1 18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God….  22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 1 Corinthians 2 1 And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. 2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. 3 And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, 4 and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.1 Corinthians 15 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.  Galatians 2 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.  Colossians 1 3 We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints, 5 because of the hope laid up for you in heaven. Of this you have heard before in the word of the truth, the gospel, 6 which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth.

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Lectionary: 404The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of LoyolaSaint Ignatius of Loyola's Story The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat near Barcelona. He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper's hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. It was during this year of conversion that Ignatius began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the Spiritual Exercises. He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. Ignatius spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned; Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods. In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others—one of whom was Saint Francis Xavier—vowed to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later Ignatius made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found homes for orphans, catechumens, and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the model of all other colleges of the Society. Ignatius was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls. Reflection Luther nailed his theses to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. Seventeen years later, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society that was to play so prominent a part in the Catholic Reformation. He was an implacable foe of Protestantism. Yet the seeds of ecumenism may be found in his words: “Great care must be taken to show forth orthodox truth in such a way that if any heretics happen to be present they may have an example of charity and Christian moderation. No hard words should be used nor any sort of contempt for their errors be shown.” One of the greatest ecumenists was the 20th-century German Jesuit, Cardinal Augustin Bea.

During my recent trip to Germany in conjunction with the BGEA European Congress on Evangelism, I had the immense privilege of traveling to Wittenberg, Germany and walking with one of my favorite pastors—Skip Heitzig—through the very same square where Martin Luther famously nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the church door. As we walked, we reflected on how what was intended as a discussion-starter by a monk frustrated with the problems he was seeing in the Catholic Church ultimately became a revolution that would change Christianity as we know it today. Together, Skip and I discussed why the Reformation Luther started over 500 years ago should still matter to the Church today, and how we as the Church can uphold what Luther so boldly gave his life for. Luther pointed the Church back to the free gift of grace—emphasizing the Bible, not the Church, as the ultimate authority for believers. In a time when churches all over the world seem to be leaning more towards performance versus scriptural truth, Luther's message is more relevant than ever before. Church, it's time to fearlessly stand for our faith just as Luther did all those centuries ago.
