History: Reformation for Kids.
A simple to understand summary of the Reformation. Resources for children abound!
I have wondered--as Christians have forgotten to celebrate or acknowledge Reformation Day, has it become a missed opportunity to share the truth of the Gospel with lost Catholics? When we aren't set apart, it is easy to have lines blurred...if we 'all' celebrate Easter, Christmas, Halloween or Substitutes for it, the 4th of July...what sets us apart?
What message would be communicated if many of us who believe there was a real and serious need for the Reformation talked about remembering Reformation Day? What if we didn't dress up and give out candy on Oct 31st but instead held Reformation Day parties? Wouldn't that subtly communicate to lost Roman Catholics they are still not on the right page when it comes to the truth of God's word? If we did this because we love Christ, His church, and all who are lost, wouldn't that say something?
Sadly, many think sharing the truth is hateful. But isn't it most hateful to be silent when faced with heresy?
