Captive




The greatest movement of God's Spirit in the last 1000 years was the Reformation. It was not started by a voice from God. It was started by a verse of Scripture:

"...The just shall live by faith."- Romans1:17

Martin Luther was simply listening to the only Word of God we are ever enjoined to hear, know, and obey--the Bible.

He said in his defense in the Diet of Worms:

"Unless I am convince by Scripture and by plain reason... and not by Popes and councils who have so often contradicted themselves... my conscience is CAPTIVE to the word of God. To go against conscience is neither right nor safe. I cannot and I will not recant"
