1483 - The Birthday of Martin Luther.
Probably this German reformer is considered as the most outstanding personality in church history since the Apostle Paul. At least many consider him so. There are those of us who dispute this lofty position, nevertheless, he was one of the leaders of the Reformation, and some say he restored Christianity after centuries of the dark ages. Once again there may be a little exaggeration here, but to say the least, we thank God for Martin Luther.
1761 - The Founding of the First Medical School in the United States.
Of course, you and I know that Christ had been healing bodies long before this, but we shoutd thank God for modern medicine. Thank God today for your family doctor. Why not drop him a line of gratitude and appreciation. Pray for God to give us more Christian doctors.
1828 - Carry Lott Died.
Carry Lott was a Christian slave who after Christian conversion and a purchase of freedom learned to read and became a strong Baptist preacher. He went to Liberia as a missionary and became pastor of the First Baptist Church there. He was a great black preacher. There are many great black preachers today. Let us thank God for them and pray for God's blessings to be upon them. Many years ago as a preacher just starting out, I was influenced very strongly by some black Christian brethren. They have a way of worshipping God that seems to ring so true. May God bless them.
1918 - The Birthday of Ralph D. Heard.
In 1953 he became the general superintendent of the Pentecost Church of God in America.
1989 - Mrs. John R. (Lloys) Rice Died.
