Lutherstadt-Wittenberg, Germany
Here is where the Reformation publicly began. This is the entrance to the Castle Church in Wittenberg where Luther posted his 95 theses on All Saints Eve 1517. The doors are not the same. The oak doors on which he posted his items for debate burned and bronze doors now stand in their place. Though the original doors no longer exist, the 95 theses still do as they are engraved in these bronze doors.
Luther probably had no idea that his posting of these theses would have such a a cataclysmic effect in Germany and the world.
The world has always been turned upside down by those who were willing to stand on the word of God. The prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel turned their world upside down. The apostles Peter, John and Paul turned their world upside down. You also know people who have turned their worlds upside down because they have lived by faith.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2 English Standard Version
What's your 95 theses? What is God calling you to do that will turn your world upside down for him? Standing on God's Word has the power to change things.
