This year marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, an era that reformed the Christian faith and changed the world. It started on October 31, 1517 when German theologian Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the door at Wittenberg Castle church, protesting the abuses and errant doctrines of the dominant Roman Catholic Church. The Reformation spread quickly throughout Europe. Debates raged and many were martyred for their beliefs, especially over key doctrines such as justification by faith alone and the authority of Scripture. Now centuries later, we will examine the enormous impact of the Reformation and why these doctrines are as important and relevant as ever.

We will also examine the massive geo-political shifts taking place in the world, from the turmoil in Israel and the Middle East to Islamic immigration and terrorism in Europe and America to the push for globalism by Western leaders to the threats posed by Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. What impact will a Trump presidency have in all this? What role is the media playing? How can Christians be alert, prepared, and working for God’s kingdom in a changing and challenging world, especially considering the moral revolution taking place in our own country?

Big topics, biblical answers at The Christian Worldview Fall Conference. We hope you will join us!
