1744 Reformation 500!

from Law Meets Gospel

October 31, 2017, marks the five hundredth anniversary of Martin Luther's ninety-five theses, which sparked the Reformation. The ripples of the Reformation still can be seen in the Church and society. Law Meets Gospel marks the occasion with Josh explaining the inspiration for several aspects of the podcast. Law Meets Gospel is inspired by Luther's teaching about Law and Gospel within Christian scriptures. Josh's sign-off, "As you work to meet the worlds need, be wise, be bold, and be joyful." is inspired by two quotes. First, Frederick Buechner's writing, "The place God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet." Second, Luther's advice in a letter to Philip Melanchthon, "Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly."
