What's Up With The Reformation ?

                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              
                                                                                                                                                              

A blog-post I read this morning by Peter Corak, re-blogged at "Christianity 201," seems to me the best commemoration there could be of today's 500th anniversary of the Reformation.

Whatever Luther's intent, whatever the effects of the Reformation in subsequent history...what was God's purpose ?  Is there any other "reason" threaded through world events and human history ?

"I guess I don’t normally think of God as a seeker. Maybe that’s because I think of seekers as needing something and I don’t think of God as in need of anything. But while God has no need of anything, there are some things He desires. This morning I read of something the Father seeks. Of something that He’s actively pursuing–something, in a sense, He craves. Something, go figure, that I can provide.
'But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship Him.'   ~ Jesus   (John 4:23 ESV)
"God is a seeker. And He seeks true worshipers to worship Him."
