Man's relationship to God in creation was based on works. What Adam failed to achieve, Christ, the second Adam, succeeded in achieving. Ultimately the only way one can be justified is by works. (R.C.Sproul) Works! Works! A man gets to heaven by works? I would as soon think of climbing to the moon on a rope of sand! (George Whitefield) “With the wolves you cannot be too severe. With the weak sheep you cannot be too gentle.” (Martin Luther on false teachers)

Reformation Day - Luther high-jinks!

These 'songs' are from Chris Arnzen at Iron Sharpens Iron. They offer a funny 'convergence' of Reformation Day, and Halloween. I suspect that this is a pretty accurate representation of Martin Luther's tone and temperament.

You can click on the X in the upper-right corner to stop the audio.

On a far more serious note, Dr. Carl Trueman, a professor at Westminster Theological Seminary, Philadelphia, does a three-part lecture series on the life of Martin Luther. The lectures are somewhat long, but are well worth listening to; they provide a wealth of historical perspective on the Protestant Reformation, and on Martin Luther, specifically. Carl Trueman is one of the principal contributors on the Reformation21 blog.

Baptist pastor Doug VanderMeulen has, on his blog, an article: On Being a Theologian of the Cross. It is from Lutheran Seminary theology professor Gerhard Forde.
