Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. -2 Timothy 2:15

Good morning and terrific Thursday to you!    

Martin Luther, often regarded as the father of the Protestant Reformation, earned his BA in 1503, MA in 1507, was ordained in 1508, and completed his Doctorate in 1512—all before writing the Ninety-Five Theses, the document that ignited the Protestant movement.

Despite his impressive academic achievements, Luther wrestled with doubt and spiritual unrest. His life reminds us that salvation cannot be attained through knowledge or education alone. It serves as a warning to those who try to follow Christ solely through another person’s relationship with Him.

If your faith depends entirely on someone else’s walk with God, it becomes vulnerable to their failures. Should that person stumble—like Nebuchadnezzar, reduced to eating grass—you may find your own faith shaken.

In time, Luther turned away from the comfort of academia and devoted himself to Scripture, testing its truth against the world and choosing to follow Christ more faithfully. The challenge remains for each of us: what choice will you make?
