Christian Reflection 48: Death<\/a> from The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University.

A New Reformation: From Luther’s World to Ours<\/a> by Rob Fuquay. Justified by faith.

He helps you take a close look into the life of Martin Luther and teaches you how to embrace reformation in your church and in your life today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
