Thanksgiving Food Collection

The annual Thanksgiving food drive of the PMC Evergreen Pathfinder club is underway. We passed out bags to portions of the community last Sunday and will return to collect them this Sunday, November 12 starting at about 10:30 AM. Also plan to bring food to Pioneer on Sabbath, November 18, as part of the offering during Hymn Fest. If you know of a family in the area who needs food this upcoming holiday season call Pioneer at (269) 471-6565. Thank you for your generosity.

Why Was Luther So Sick?

It’s amazing how much one can learn of Martin Luther’s state of mind—simply because of the prodigious output from his prolific pen, because in every sense of the word his writings went "viral." Johannes Gutenberg’s invention of movable type and the printing press (seventy years before Luther) forever changed the human playing field. "In terms of its cultural impact the printing press was the most significant innovation in world history before the internet" (Derek Wilson Luther: Out of the Storm p. 41).

"Ein' Feste Burg Ist Unser Gott"

Even the world recognizes the battle hymn of the Reformation, "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God." What is little known is the poignant story behind it—what Germans call sitzen leben ("setting in life"). And that back-story tells much about its composer, the excommunicated monk Martin Luther (who at the time and for the rest of his life lived under an empire-wide warrant for his arrest and execution).

Zagreb From 37,000 Feet

Flying and writing at seven miles above the earth, I am thanking God for your prayer partnership as I return from 12 days in Zagreb, the Old Europe capital of Croatia. We called it Novo Nada (New Hope), our series of public lectures in the beautiful year-old Music Academy performance hall across the street from the National Theater. For nine nights and one Sabbath morning, the five Seventh-day Adventist churches in the city banded together to give public witness to their faith.
