The 507th Anniversary of the Reformation is today!
Martin Luther's name was actually Martin Ludor. When he discovered the truth about the Righteousness of God - that it was given to us as a sheer gift by faith in Jesus - he was so transformed by joy and love that he began signing his letters Martin Elutherios; Martin the Free One; shortened to Martin Luther. I know how he felt! My name is Ken the Free One! If it's true for you, try writing your name in the same way in the comments!

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, a for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'The just shall live by faith'.(Rom.1:16-17)

"For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing..." (Is.28:11-12)

It has been my conviction for the past four decades that Christians should not celebrate Halloween at all. Halloween is a holiday that glorifies everything evil in the spirit realm. It is celebrated by highlighting things that create fear in the hearts of people. This is just the opposite of everything that Christianity stands for.

Most evangelical churches have also come to this realization and have started celebrating a made-up non-existent alternative to Halloween which they usually call Harvest-Fest. The problem with that is that they are nothing more than a christianized form of Halloween and they really celebrate nothing in themselves. They just are designed to give children of Christian homes an alternative activity and still get their bags of treats.

When I realized that the most significant event in modern Christian history took place on October 31st, I decided to start celebrating that on this day instead. On October 31st, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 thisis to the cathedral door, sparking the great movement known as the Protestant Reformation. Most denominations trace their roots to this event and the revelation that Martin Luther gained about salvation by grace and righteousness through faith.

So, every October 31st, for many years, I have celebrated Reformation Day. I have celebrated it in different ways each year. But, I have focused on reminding people of the events and biblical principles that started the Protestant Reformation. This Reformation Day celebration can be a principled alternative to Halloween, but with a real reason to celebrate, instead of a christianized version of what the world does.

Join us on October 31st this year for our Reformation Celebration, beginning at 6pm. We'll be showing a movie, plenty of snacks and candy, plus games and prizes. Christian-oriented costumes are encouraged and we'll have a costume contest after the movie.

For the Lord will not cast off His people neither will He forsake His inheritance.
But the Lord is my defense and my God is the Rock of my refuge
(Ps.94:14 & 22)

Grace, defined is "Divine influence upon your heart and its reflection in your life." When the grace of God takes over your heart, your life effortlessly reflects His influence, His character, & His glory. This is truly the most blessed and easiest life to live!

"...work out (cultivate, carry out to the goal, and fully complete) your own salvation with reverence and awe and trembling (self-distrust, with serious caution, tenderness of conscience, watchfulness against temptation, timidly shrinking from whatever might offend God and discredit the name of Christ)" (Ph.2:12amp)

Instead of celebrating Halloween this year, celebrate Reformation Day with us at Abiding Life Grace and Faith Center. The Protestant Reformation began on October 31st, 1517 - The Gospel of Grace rapidly spread through the countries of Europe, then around he world. Come celebrate His grace with us with Double-Feature Movies, games and prizes, snacks and lots of candy, and more..
