On the 31st of October, 2017, we celebrated the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's nailing the 95 theses to the door of Wittemberg Chapel. I along with many others believe that this event marks the official beginning of the Reformation; that glorious time when the errors and heresies of the Roman Catholic Church began to be decisively addressed, and when the truth of the gospel and the word of God which had been warped, twisted, and suppressed for many hundreds of years, began to emerge once again. The doctrine of justification by faith in Christ alone, not adding any of the works of man, either ecclesiastical or moral, was sounded forth by Luther, who took aim specifically at the practice of the selling of indulgences.

And 3rd – I would like to show you an example of the fulfillment of pouring out of this bowl, in history.
