Happy Reformation Day!

On this day in 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to door of the castle church in Wittenburg, Germany.  This was the beginning of what would become the protestant reformation. As Luther studied the scripture, he discovered  that much was wrong with how the church was teaching the scripture to the people.  He wrote his 95 points and it did not turn out as he had hoped.  He discovered that the corruption was much deeper than he had expected.  He and other men began to teach the Word of God to the people and had Bibles printed in their own languages so they could read the Bible for themselves and not have to be told what it said by the church leaders who were perverting the scripture. Because of the work of the Reformers, many people learned to read.  You can go to Monergism to read more about Luther and Reformation Day.
