The Protestant Reformation started 100 years ago when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of his home church in Wittenburg, Germany...calling out the Christian world on the hypocrisy of selling people God's forgiveness. Today we (Christians) are facing a similar crisis...we are putting moral boundaries on who can follow Jesus and who can't. Are we putting up rules and boundaries to Jesus that he never put up?

Similarly, Luther challenged the authority of the church (mainly the Pope). The Reformation diffused the power the church and liberated the Spirit of Jesus to move more freely amongst his people. The Reformation didn't go far enough in that liberation of ministry from the few to the many. We have replaced the Pope with the local pastor and given him or her special responsibilities that we don't expect of "regular" Christians...Jesus wants EVERYONE to experience the fullness of his Kingdom!
