What's the solution? "Christianity, post-Reformation and post-Luther, with its teaching of a direct, personal, two-way link between the individual and God . . . smashes straight through the philosophical/spiritual framework I've just described. It offers something to hold on to, to those anxious to cast off a crushing tribal groupthink. That is why and how it liberates." -Matthew Parris

Luther and the other Reformers rediscovered the good news of ‘a direct, personal, two-way link between the individual and God’ through Jesus Christ. This is the gospel that through the abundant grace in Christ, sinners can become a kingdom of priests and offer up their sacrifices of praise and thanksgiving, being joint heirs with Him to every spiritual blessing…
Not only does the gospel smash through the group think that holds captive those in Africa, it can do the same to those in bondage here in the post-Reformation and post-Luther America.
