Guest: Mike Gendron, Founder and Director, Proclaiming the Gospel

It says something very destructive about the trajectory of our nation that October 31 is overwhelmingly celebrated as Halloween, a “holy-day” that features the dark supernatural world of evil spirits, death, and paganism.

A far more righteous and momentous event occurred on the same date in the year 1517 when a monk named Martin Luther nailed a document known as the 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, Germany, protesting errant doctrines of the predominant Roman Catholic Church. Luther’s protest ignited the Reformation, which led to the recovery of key doctrines of the faith such as justification by God’s grace through faith and started a new branch of Christianity called Protestantism.

The impact of the Reformation went far beyond ecclesiastical matters into the civil sphere. European nations, such as Britain, Scotland, Switzerland, Netherlands, and Scandinavia, became Protestant, and generations later as descendants migrated to America, beliefs and practices from the Reformation shaped the founding documents and culture of our nation.

Mike Gendron, founder and director of Proclaiming the Gospel Ministries and a former Roman Catholic for 35 years, is our guest this weekend on The Christian Worldview. He recently wrote a column on the Reformation that we will discuss. We will also examine how the the Marxist assault against our Constitution is really an ideological war against the Reformation.
