I was looking for information on Today in history to post some information on Homeschool with Heart when I found this little tidbit for today.
Can you imagine feeling so confident in your beliefs that you would face excommunication from the all powerful church? What do you believe? Have you ever taken the time to write it down? Have you ever reviewed your beliefs, thought about why you feel the way you do? Have you ever shared your thoughts with others?
As, we talked about in my DD's God & Life class this week, do people know that you are a Christian? Can they read it in your behavior? Do you stand as a visible witness to His Word? Have you inspired someone through your behavior and beliefs? We do not have to face excommunication like Martin Luther, nor do we need to found a new denomination, but we do have an obligation to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matthew 28 19-20 NIV) Have you followed this commission today? yesterday? everyday? Would you do so under pressure? Under the threat of excommunication, physical harm, death?
