Taking a stand often leaves you feeling alone. It doesn’t always win you friends and might even make some enemies. But if an idea is both true and profoundly important, those who take a stand for it have a bond that nothing can break. This week, we commemorate the Lutheran Reformation by remembering that every stand we take is designed to give “Glory to God alone.” Every false teaching that has ever arisen robs God of the glory due him in one way or another. As we wait for Christ to return, the opposition we sometimes face gives us opportunity to the confess to the truth. As we confess that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone and base all that we believe on Scripture alone, we give glory to God alone in the process.
