While I sat still ...

I don't know if the blogger Swiftly and with Style is Lutheran or Reformed or what. But he posted a nice little quote from Luther.

I have read it before but I missed Reformation Day so here it is:


Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we prohibit and abolish women? The sun, moon and the stars have been worshipped; shall we pluck them from the sky? See how much He has done thru me even though I just prayed and preached, the Word did it all. If I wanted to, I could have started a conflagration at Worms. But while I sat still and drank beer with Philip in Hahnsdorf, God dealt the papacy a mighty blow.
