Luther...

Watched the movie Luther on the weekend starring Joseph Fiennes. It's a two hour production of Martin Luther's life from his days as a Augustinian monk to his translation of the New Testament into German. I knew a little bit about Luther, however a much healthier knowledge of history would have helped in watching this movie. They take a little bit for granted as far as people and places go. Fiennes is quite a good actor, especially his tone and voice acting. The movie was a bit too long but quite inspirational and interesting for the most part. Quite a professional production too, it hit the cinemas in Australia earlier this year. Recommended.

Meanwhile, I'm reading a great book by Gilbert Bilezikian called Community 101. More on that later. I've got to prepare my sermon for this Sunday night on John 9, the healing of the man born blind. Something along the lines of being used as a vessel of God's grace.
