This morning we opened with a call to worship which was a tribute to Martin Luther’s “A Mighty Fortress is Our God.” It was an unusual blend of a call to worship with the opening hymn which was published by the PC (USA) Office of Theology and Worship in celebration of Reformation Sunday.
On another website I found this Martin Luther quote: "I have no use for cranks who despise music, because it is a gift of God. Music drives away the Devil and makes people gay; they forget thereby all wrath, unchastity, arrogance, and the like. Next after theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor."
It seemed only fitting that the gospel message was delivered by The Songsters, a gospel quartet hailing from Ohio.
One of their songs was “I’m Just a Sinner Saved By Grace,” and I couldn’t help but reflect that this might have been Martin Luther’s 21st century theme song.
We are so blessed that our righteousness is not dependent on the works we try to achieve but on the redemptive grace of Jesus Christ.
