Sharing the Gospel, Strengthening Believers

Well, folks, it’s good to be with you on this Reformation Day. You know, every October 31 we remember when Martin Luther nailed those theses to the door in Wittenberg back in 1517. There was some real good that came out of that time. The Lord used ordinary men to stand up against the sale of indulgences and to insist that the Scriptures belong in the hands of ordinary people. Before then, most believers couldn’t even read the Word for themselves. Now we can open it up, study it verse by verse, and become Bible Strong. That’s what we want—>not system-strong, not tradition-strong, but Bible Strong.

When we think about leaving a legacy, most people picture something the world can measure—money in the bank, a name people remember, buildings with plaques on the wall, or influence in politics and public life. Yet the Word of God measures legacy differently. Jesus said, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21 NKJV). A true legacy is not what we accumulate for ourselves, but what the Lord works in us and through us as we walk with Him.
