This October 31 is the 490th anniversary of the day Martin Luther nailed a few minor concerns about the Catholic Church to a cathedral door. For that reason, I offer this link to quotes from Luther’s guide to prayer.
I have wanted to be a man of prayer for a long time, but it is one of the hardest things I try.
No. 4 interests me particularly, because I’ve believed for some time that, for the Christian, the Ten Commandments should be sen as Ten Promises. These rules are not for us so much a burden to bear us down, as a proclamation of what God is producing in our lives even today.
That’s a beautiful thought.
