    Speaks of the importance of memorizing Scripture and applying it to your everyday life.

    Transfiguration

     | 9,716 views

    The word Transfiguration is another way to say transformed. We too have been transformed by the power of hte resurrection and hte love of Jesus.

    One of my favorite parts of confirmation is the day we spend in the Church going over the special vocabulary that we have in the Church world.

    Marin luther, with a warped sense of scripture became the Father of the reformation.

    artin Luther was a tortured soul, if ever there was one. He grew up with a warped understanding of God as harsh and severe. And becoming an Augustinian monk only made matters worse.
