Christians have endured severe oppression under totalitarian regimes that demand absolute loyalty, yet Scripture has sustained their steadfast faith.
The Persecution of Christians Under Totalitarian Regimes
The Second Great Awakening in America
The Second Great Awakening sparked widespread revival, restoring biblical faith, evangelistic zeal, and scriptural authority across America.
The Great Awakening and Revivalist Preaching
The Great Awakening restored biblical conviction through Scripture-centered preaching that called individuals to repentance, regeneration, and obedient faith.
Lutheranism and the Church
From Concordia to Orthodoxy, through rationalism to today, Lutheranism endures where Scripture rules—and inerrancy is confessed without reserve.
Martin Luther and the Spread of the Reformation
The Reformation spread where Scripture ruled—through princes’ protection, preaching, schools, confessions, and endurance against counter-efforts.
Martin Luther’s Impact on Education and Society
Schools, song, and Scripture reshaped home and city: literacy rose, work was dignified, art served truth, and education became a public trust under God’s Word.
Martin Luther’s Later Years
Ailing yet unbending, Luther forged confessions, shepherded churches, counseled princes, and died trusting Christ, leaving Scripture to rule the church.
Martin Luther and the Jews
Luther’s early hope for Jewish conversion gave way to harsh polemic; Scripture calls us to condemn that legacy, love our neighbors, and preach Christ.
Martin Luther’s German Bible Translation
Luther’s German Bible yoked accuracy to clarity, put Scripture on German tongues, and reshaped church, home, language, and doctrine.
Martin Luther’s Theology and Works
Faith alone justifies, yet Scripture-ruled catechesis, ordinances, song, and civic duty train believers for good works in church, home, and commonwealth.
