	A Reformation Day Meditation
		This is because the Reformation marked the recovery of the doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.
		While it is true that these things are taught in the Scriptures and that no reformer or other human being should be given credit for the doctrines themselves, it is also true that these precious truths had been all but lost before the time of the Reformation.
		While the gospel was present in those days, especially as a means of entering the household of faith, I found that once I came into the household the focus was on living for Christ, learning Christian principles and doing all I could for Him.

	On That Door - OFB.biz: Open for Business
		Rather, this day is a confession of the frailty and humanity of the church – it is a reminder that the church is made of fallible humans who will become corrupt and who will make mistakes.

		Reformation Day should not be a yearly exercise in divisiveness, but rather a yearly reminder to check our beliefs as individuals and in community.

	Reformation Theology: Reformed Righteousness by Rev. Charles R. Biggs
		Even though we may have differences on non-essential matters of theology, we are all committed to the Biblical and Christ-exalting truths of the Reformation such as the five solas, the doctrines of grace, monergistic regeneration, and the redemptive historical approach to interpreting the Scriptures.
		The Reformation was a time when God allowed light to shine in the darkness of the failed attempts of feeble and sinful men trying to earn righteousness from good works, and only ending in despair before a holy God.
		The doctrines, or teachings of the Reformation established upon, and found in Scripture alone were: faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.
