The Doctor’s Casebook: Dr Peter Rowe
Martin Luther: Personal Dilemma to Diet of Worms!
Hello and I pray the Lord’s blessing upon you today.
I am reading a book on the Reformation and it has given me some unexpected insights into the internal struggles of that great reformer, Martin Luther. One of the wonderful things about reading is that we can touch base with our own feelings in the experiences of others.
Before we look at Luther’s inner turmoil, let’s first take a whirlwind tour of what brought him to his crisis… a crisis that eventually had him stand before a Church Council at Worms (in Germany) – known as the Diet of Worms (hence our clever title) – and refuse to recant of his heretical view that salvation was by personal faith in Jesus Christ alone. As always, please forgive oversimplification for the sake of brevity.

The love puzzle – (1) Making hard work of love |

Growing up as a Christian, I always knew I was commanded by the Lord to walk in love towards others. In fact the scripture says everything hangs on this.
1. "One of the religion scholars came up. Hearing the lively exchanges of question and answer and seeing how sharp Jesus was in his answers, he put in his question: "Which is most important of all the commandments?" Jesus said, "The first in importance is, 'Listen, Israel: The Lord your God is one; so love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy.' And here is the second: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' There is no other commandment that ranks with these." The religion scholar said, "A wonderful answer, Teacher! So lucid and accurate--that God is one and there is no other. And loving him with all passion and intelligence and energy, and loving others as well as you love yourself. Why, that's better than all offerings and sacrifices put together!" When Jesus realized how insightful he was, he said, "You're almost there, right on the border of God's kingdom." After that, no one else dared ask a question." (Mark 12:28-34 MSG)
2. "Teacher, which command in God's Law is the most important?" Jesus said, "'Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence.' This is the most important, the first on any list. But there is a second to set alongside it: 'Love others as well as you love yourself.' These two commands are pegs; everything in God's Law and the Prophets hangs from them." (Matthew 22:36-40 MSG)
The reality was that no matter how much I tried I always seemed to fall short of the kind of love alluded to in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
