The Protestant Reformation was a movement against the false teachings in the Roman Catholic Church. The two main issues were: 1) Depending solely on God’s Word to determine Truth and 2) selling indulgences, the practice of paying money to be absolved of sin rather than trust in the Blood of Jesus. This primarily European movement, opened the way for those seeking religious freedom to come to America. The message of the reformers was the message on which America was established. Today, America finds itself in need of its own reformation, a return to Truth and to our first Love.
