The time of year has arrived when spooky things come knocking, requesting candy to fuel their haunted activities. Halloween’s history focuses on established traditions but runs deeper than most realize. Each monster has a different history. One traditional villain has a history of a monster and honored saint. Dracula, history’s bloodiest monster, had a vital role saving Christianity for millions.

The Lord’s Prayer, as written in Matthew 6:913, was Jesus' instruction to his disciples on how to pray. When you break the prayer down, you find further insight into seeking God's kingdom. Andrew Stringer, an FCC supported missionary in Columbia, helped us on Sunday to better understand what the prayer says.

LUTHER. 'I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word, 'Til soul and body sever: For tho' all things shall pass away, His Word shall stand forever.' That's from the mind of Martin Luther. Reformation Day, observed on October 31, began with Luther when God providentially put him in the position of teaching His Word at the University of Wittenberg. Upon accepting the position, he took the University vow, saying in part, “I swear to defend evangelical truth vigorously.” IOW, he vowed to follow God's Word wherever it led for God's Word was truth. Again, providentially, God led Luther to teach through Romans and Galatians, both of which teach that sinners are justified in God's sight not by personal goodness and good works, but rather by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. True to his vow, Luther defended the truth of God's Word vigorously even though it led to him being put on trial for heresy. In his well known hymn, 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,' the last verse states, 'Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also- The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still: His ldngdom is forever.' To Luther, nothing - not family and not even life itself - was more important than standing on the unchanging Word of God. He also wrote, 'If we have to let go of our family, let go of our friends, let go of our church, let go of our lives, so be it. Otherwise, we seek to please men rather than to please God.' Romans 10:17, says, 'So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.' Jesus Himself told Sadducees, who believed there was no resurrection, 'You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.' Not knowing the Word of God predictably leads to spiritual delusion and destruction. That was Jesus' message. The Reformation, in short, brought God's Word to people and people to God's Word. To be sure, no one dies with regret who makes Scripture the focus of their lives.
