Sola Scriptura (45)
  1. The history of the early Reformation in the New World is both a tale of pirates and the battle of catechisms.
  2. God acts through His Word and means in order to create, restore, and renew inward faith.
  3. While 500 years is certainly something to be celebrated, to always focus on the anniversary number could run the risk of forgetting the true meaning behind the reason we remember the Reformation as an important period in the history of the Christian church.
  4. Christ is the answer to both the Who and the how of our extra nos salvation.
  5. It is time to shake things up and take a break from the Great Thinkers of the Christian Faith and begin a new series on the Great Ideas of the Reformation.
  6. Can one still find a church that teaches that Christianity, and the Christian life, can be summed up as: "We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone?"
  7. These words sum up the whole person and work of our Messiah. Here is the Gospel in Hebrew.
  8. The 21st century is simply not compatible with a reformational mindset. Daniel Dennett argues in Darwin’s Dangerous Idea (1995) that conservative Christians better serve their secular neighbors as specimens in a cultural zoo, relics of a bygone world.
