“I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.”

— Martin Luther, defending his writings in front of Emperor Charles V, in April 1521

This week we celebrate the 503rd Anniversary of the Reformation — on October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses on the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany. These were the differences Luther found between the Roman Catholic Church and the Bible. His refusal to recant these views would lead to him being excommunicated.

To commemorate this event, and remember its impact in launching the Protestant Reformation, pastor and church growth strategist Nelson Searcy wants to give you exclusive access to his Martin Luther Church Growth Champions Report and comprehensive Reformation Articles Collection.
