THE REFORMATION REMINDS US THAT THE CHURCH IS BUILT UPON THE GOSPEL, NOT VICE-VERSA.

History will testify that Luther’s original intention was to call the Roman Catholic Church back to gospel fidelity, not to start a counter-Catholic church revolution that resulted in the division of that church. But the result was the Protestant Reformation, a stark reminder that no single church or denomination is greater than the gospel. We would do well to remember this today. The Reformation teaches us from experience what Revelation 2-3 makes explicitly clear: The Lord does not promise perpetuity or “success” to any particular local church or denomination – particularly if it is not faithful.

2. THE REFORMATION REMINDS US THAT THE GOSPEL CAN BE LOST.

I often read the story of Josiah’s discovery of the Law of God (2 Kings 22:8-20) with some incredulity. How is it possible that God’s chosen people could lose the Book of the Law? How is it possible for there to be so much neglect of God’s word amongst his people that the very Law of God has to be rediscovered? I then often (smugly) dismiss them as being not like me, never actually praying the prayer of the self-justifying Pharisee, but sharing more in common with him than the humble tax collector (Luke 18:9-14). The Reformation warns us against such smugness and teaches us that the church, with all of its New Covenant advantages, must be vigilant because the very gospel of grace can be effectively lost to the church through distortion and neglect. This could happen in any number of ways (e.g., doctrinal distortion, lack of faith, giving priority to something other than the proclamation of the gospel in missions, etc.). The Reformation teaches us that unless we are vigilant, we will lose the very thing that matters most.

What do you think about the role of nationalism in uniting and dividing citizens?
Digiron [165]
Nationalism serves as a uniting force. The recent World Cup united each country, where people came together as aspirants for their team and, ultimately, their country. These fans were united in cheering for their players and equally united in recovering from defeat. This illustrates the spirit of national identity. By taking a strong sense of who we are, dishonor and fright become foreign concepts. We developed to be bold and confident, sometimes overly so. We become so occupied in our views that we drown in circumstances of opposition. We cross the boundaries to defame others in the name of unity. Unfortunately, that is where unity is no longer present, and the individual is singled out. Mistreating a national identity as superior is not appropriate. Although we are citizens of whatever country, everybody is a citizen of this one planet called Earth.

True or false As a result of mercantilism, new colonies were established in Africa, India, and the Far East.
n200080 [17]

<span>True. Trade is one of the main reasons why colonies expanded throughout Africa, India, and the Far East. This industry made information dissemination easier for different countries all over the world. Due to merchants, profitable produce and other goods are being discovered in other lands. This is the reason why colonies increased in numbers throughout history. People were always in search of commodities or produce that is unique and can be easily traded. </span>
