“On October 31, 1517, a German monk name Martin Luther posted his grievances with the Medieval Roman Catholic Church on the church door in Wittenberg (see photo).

Posted: November 25, 2007 in Books, Friends & Family, Ministry & Leadership, Missions, TheologyOn March 30th of this year I signed a covenant with four guys.
