31st Oct 1517 is Reformation Day. It was when Martin Luther nailed 95 theses (arguments) against the church then. Stating the contradictions and not-so-right things according to his study of the Bible. It sparked off arguments and hence, a split between the catholic and protestant church (as far as I can recall). Check out this website to see the 95 arguments translated from the language then: http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/history/95theses.htm Well, today's devotion talked about it and one thing highlighted was the 5 solas: Sola Scriptura (by Scriptures alone), Sola Fida (by faith alone), Sola Gratia (by grace alone), Sola Christus (by Christ alone) and Soli Deo Gloria (by glory to God alone)! The essentials of the Christian beliefs and points raised at the 95 theses! Food for thought. Okay. Today I went to the Parliament House. The tour was really good and informative! Know wad a sitting is about, the meaning of a bill and how it's being conducted! Nice! The view is really good too! After tat, dad and I went to Hello Shop and get a new phone for me! =) Cheers! I got Nokia E63! =) Sweet! Nice! Been looking forward to getting a new phone for a long time! Yay! Glad to have it now! With much better functions too! (: I got it in white. Just can't resist the white phone. Mum said I shld get black since white is easily dirty but white jus seems too nice! White, red and blue are my fav colours! Wun give them up! =) Well, it was a good day out. Esp directing my dad with the map! Haha. Fun! I'm glad I catch on very fast and can read the map well. One of the rare times dad let me read the map and direct him. Usually, he likes to do it himself :( After all, I'm an engineer and have a bit of geog brain! Give me more chances in the future! And yes, talking about chances, I got to drive the car again! After the Hello shop trip, dad alighted at home while I took the car to west mall area, for me to return lib books, then to church. And I drove on my own! Yay! =) Drove to church and back from it! Gave a lift to Jethro too! But it was raining quite heavily. The first time I drive alone in the rain. Quite scary and really gotta control myself not to drive fast cos it's dangerous! Yeah. But still, it was fun! Thank God for the safe journey! --------------------------------- |
