A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Five hundred and five years ago, on April 16, Martin Luther entered the German city of Worms to meet with the political leaders of the empire. I am reading from Roland Bainton's classic, Here I Stand, where Bainton records Luther's concluding words: "Unless I am convinced by Scripture and plain reason--I do not accept the authority of popes and councils for they have contradicted each other--my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." May you have that same confidence in God's Word of love and forgiveness.

A DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: On this anniversary of the death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we ponder the cross and victory of our Lord and Savior. Bonhoeffer died on this date in 1945 in a Nazi concentration camp. Just before he died, he said, "This is the end...for me, the beginning of life." May you rejoice in your life this Easter season as you follow Jesus
