Today we are once again faced with issues of truth and error. There is Liberalism, Charismatism, Neo-Evangelicalism, and not to mention the Roman Catholic Church which is still very strong. More than that there is even an attempt in our time to undo the work of the Reformation, in the ecumenical movement. In 1998, Rome removed its disdain for Martin Luther and forgave him for being a rebel. This was done to open the door for reconciliation of Protestants to the Roman Catholic Church. And some sectors of Protestantism have already capitulated.

We must look once again to the Sovereignty of God to direct the hearts and minds of men to withstand the trends and to order circumstances that will keep the truth uncompromised. Martin Luther himself realized this principle and wrote about it with conviction in his famous Reformation hymn: A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing. Our helper He amidst the flood of mortal ills prevailing. The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him. His rage we can endure, for lo his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him.
