Reformed and Always Reforming - Some Thoughts on Halloween and Reformation Day

Ia a recent post I said the Dr. Billy Graham and Dr. Ian Paisley represented a fork in the road for Christians (see The Black Pope and His Murdermen). But there has always been a fork in the road - not just for those who claim to be followers of our Lord Jesus Christ, but for everyone born into this world. The Bible says:

"And if it seam evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom you will serve. Whether the gods which your fathers served, which were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15)

And also:

"And Elijah said to them all, How long halt ye between two opinions? If the Lord is God, serve him. If Baal, serve him." (I Kings 18:21).

In the next few days Christians and non-Christians alike will have a chance to 'choose you this day whom ye will serve':

If you want to serve Baal (Satan, the devil, Lucifer or whatever you want to call the Prince of Darkness), then turn on your TV or you Blu-Ray player and watch the latest horror movie. But if you want to serve our Lord Jesus, I'd like to ask you to spend some time brushing up on what Reformation Day is all about. Here are some audio messages and printed material that you may want to listen to and read in the next few days:
