Sharing Reformation Day to Christians is like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin
It has been for many years that I have shared with Christians, pastors and anyone who will listen that there is no need to celebrate Fall Festivals as an alternative to Halloween. We have a real HolyDay to celebrate every October 31st. That is Reformation Day. On this day in 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis on the Wittenberg Chapel door protesting the sales of indulgences. This singular act sparked the Protestant Reformation which brought the gospel of Jesus Christ to millions of Europeans with the new birth and millions more world wide.
The Lutherans are the only denomination that still celebrates Reformation Day. Why on Earth would any believer substitute a generic celebration, Fall Festival (which is no better than Gaia worship) when we have a true Holyday to celebrate? It beats me. People smile and say that is nice yet continue on with the meaningless Fall Festival instead. I am beginning to feel like Linus waiting for the Great Pumpkin.
Join me in celebrating this singular event which will have its 500th anniversary in 2017. Stop celebrating nonsense.
