Reformation Figures (345)
  1. With this collar on, my superpower is just unbridled preaching! Pastors Gillespie and Riley read a letter from John Huss to John Barbatus about the biblical teaching on who can (and cannot) preach.
  2. I have a confession: I don’t believe the Bible is true because it says it’s true.
  3. Hus held that Christ alone grants salvation and that popes do not.
  4. The miracle of Pentecost is not obvious; it is the miracle of faith created through the preaching of the word of the cross.
  5. In Martin Luther's Small Catechism he borrows a line from St. Augustine about what defines a "god."
  6. I’ve always been more at home in the Old Testament than in the New Testament.
  7. Only Jesus’ absolute absolution can satisfy a troubled conscience.
  8. This week, the Fellows cover the Anglican theologian Thomas Cranmer. Cranmer was a reformation theologian influenced early on by Martin Luther.
  9. The pastor declares it. We receive it. The forgiveness of sins. It’s a simple thing.
  10. You say: Since forgiveness depends on faith alone, why must one nonetheless do good works? Answer: If faith is of the true sort, it cannot be without good works, just as no good work can be where unbelief dwells.
  11. Faith does not distinguish between worthy and unworthy, saint and sinner, great faith and anemic faith, it only focuses on Christ Jesus.
  12. Above all, Luther understood the importance of the Biblical narrative as the story of God’s love and man’s salvation revealed in Christ Crucified.
