NO ARM, NO LEGS, AND STILL PRAISING GOD!

By Ryan Hicks

I was blessed recently to see Nick Vujicic. I wept with joy for the love for God this brother has, and his situation put to shame the little trials and tribulations I go through and feel "suffering" in. This dear brother was born with no arms or legs and praises God in spite of such a circumstance. So many Christians need to read his story and learn about him. I think too often people have a tendency to become murmurers at the sign of the slightest thing not going "right" for them. You may think yourself to be blessed to have both your arms and legs, but are you really blessed if you do not have this Christ-like attitude our dear armless and legless brother has? I think not. I think he is truly blessed that in spite of his circumstance he walks by faith (so to speak). Souls flock into the kingdom just seeing this brother praise God and minister the gospel. How can you not serve God when someone seemingly starting with the least serves Him with his whole heart? The only excuse for not serving and loving God in light of the glorious testimony of Brother Vujicic would be you are selfish and foolish, and you need to search your heart and get it right before God by the cleansing blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.

Martin Luther is often quoted and revered among reformed theology proponents. They say that Luther taught "faith alone," but what did Luther actually teach? This video compares Luther's own words with the Bible to determine if he taught faith alone and that such faith should be in Jesus Christ alone.
