508th Anniversary of The Reformation
The Gospel cannot be preached without offense and tumult. Why? Because the world and the devil cannot endure it. Therefore, let it not trouble you that many are offended, stirred up, and in an uproar when the Gospel is preached. On the contrary, this is its nature and its glory: that it disturbs the world, proclaims Christ the Son of God, crucified for our sins, and alone our righteousness of life.
– Martin Luther
