Church Trash, Cotton Candy Spiritualism, and God's Ongoing Reformation

Gospel: Luke 18:9-17 (Pentecost 20: Series C)

Faithful celebration of the Reformation is possible only for those who understand they have nothing. Whose incapability and insufficiency are obvious and owned. Who recognize their dependence on God for all things. In other words, Reformation is for children.
