Friday and I'll be back to mailboat'n next Wednesday. A gray drizzlie day but there's always something to take pictures of.
Steller bubbles? Dunlins and Cormorants, Mt Baker and Mt Shuksan, then Hawthorn berries.

"My conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not retract anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me. Amen." – Martin Luther

Happy Reformation Day!
#OTD October 31, 1517:
Martin Luther posts his Ninety-Five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, challenging the sale of indulgences and calling for debate. The document spreads rapidly, sparking the Protestant Reformation and renewing the church's commitment to the truth that salvation comes by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus), according to Scripture alone (Sola Scriptura), to the glory of God alone (Soli Deo Gloria).

509 years ago today (according to the traditional story), Luther challenged a Pope. The resultant cause and effect didn’t start a new church, it reformed the one true catholic church. As Calvin says in his letter to Cardinal Sadoleto:
"[N]ot only that our agreement with antiquity is far closer than yours, but that all we have attempted has been to renew that ancient form of the Church… Indeed, in attacking, breaking down, and destroying your kingdom, we are armed not only with the energy of the Divine Word, but with the aid of the holy Fathers also."
Orthodox, but not Eastern, catholic, but not Roman.

In the church, we often seek the acceptance and recognition of other believers by speaking, acting, and serving in ways that make us look more faithful, more knowledgeable, and more mature than we actually are. —Joel E. Kim ligm.in/4bW9zIj

"Alas! Alas for Churches that have given up Prayer Meetings! You shall judge of the Presence of God by the Prayer Meeting as accurately as you shall judge the temperature of the air by the thermometer."
