The message taught at that time was not unlike that taught today by all sacred books apart from the Bible. These Dallas books state that human beings can somehow someway make their way to God by and through their own thoughts, feelings and deeds. But such was not the teaching of the Holy Bible lying chained on a reading stand out of the reach of those who sought to be right with God. So that the common man of his day might know the truth of God's mercy in Christ, Luther set out to translate the Holy Bible into the common language of his day and culture. Looking forward some 500 years, the Bible is still chained in our society now. It can easily be bought or read by the common man, but it is no longer permitted to hold sway in the public square, though its words be inscribed on our most public edifices. What is it about the Bible that threatens today's society? Teachers in our public schools aren't sure how to treat an opened Bible resting on a student's desk on a Monday afternoon. An intolerance in a supposedly tolerant society binds the Bible as a relic of the past – an irrelevant and historically inaccurate source. Regardless of these modern chains today, the Bible remains the foremost of all books. Unlike any other book, it is about the Holy God, majestic in power, yet filled with compassion and Grace for His Created Ones. It tells the story of a God whose honor was defamed by those He created and yet, in mercy to rescue His lost ones, offered His One and Only Son to Redeem condemned humanity through His holy and precious blood. The Bible has more ancient manuscript evidence to support its ancient origins than any ten pieces of classical literature combined. It is a book written over a period of 1500 years by more than forty authors, of every walk of life, from different places with a central theme throughout its pages. Unlike other religious books it is predictive of future events, many of which have already been fulfilled down to the last detail. Names and places once considered fabricated are found to be credible through the stones of the past. "There can be no doubt that archaeology has confirmed the substantial historicity of Old Testament tradition," according to renowned archeologist Dr. William F. Albright. As I look forward to the anniversary of Martin Luther unchaining the Bible for the common man, I would encourage you to read it for yourself. Don't listen to those who would dissuade you from doing so by claiming the Bible is filled with errors. Go ahead and open to the book of Luke and start learning about the amazing histories it contains. The Bible is truly an amazing book. If you would like more evidence for the Bible's reliability, send me an email with your questions and I would be glad to respond to the best of my ability.

Olive Lutheran Church Corning where he has served for the past 30 years. A Michigan native, his interests include wrestling, Judo, chess, mountain climbing, and biking. He is married with four children. Holy hour of prayer focuses on angels Angels are present throughout Biblical scripture heralding important happenings and are particularly featured in the events surrounding Christ's birth. In contemporary society angels decorate stores, homes and are perceived as a source of inspiration and comfort. Reflect on the existence of angels at A Holy Hour of Prayer with Angels led by Sisters Gloria Heese and Janel Sawatzki. All are invited to take time from this busy holiday season to pray and contemplate angels and their presence in our lives from 5:45-6:45 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 8, at Marsh Cottage next to St. Peter's Episcopal Church. An Advent Taize Prayer service will follow at 7 p.m. in St. Peter's sanctuary. Advent Taize Prayer services offer a time of prayer, meditative music and silence in uniting Christians to join in preparing for the coming of the birth of Christ. An Hour of Prayer and Taize Prayer services are co-sponsored by the con- gregations of Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, St. Peter's Episcopal Church, the Presbyterian Church of Red Bluff, and the Tehama County United Methodist Churches. St. Peter's Episcopal Church is located at 510 Jefferson St., on the corner of Jefferson and Elm, in Red Bluff. Call (530) 5275205 or send an email to stpeters@sbcglobal.net for more information.

Pope forms commission to advise on sex abuse VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Tuesday responded to complaints that he has largely ignored the clerical sex abuse scandal, agreeing to assemble a panel of experts to advise the Holy See on protecting children from pedophiles and helping abuse victims heal. It remains to be seen if the experts will take up one of the core issues behind the problem — making bishops who shelter abusive priests accountable — and victims groups immediately questioned whether another church study group would really make progress on an issue that has vexed the Vatican for decades. Cardinal Sean O'Malley, the archbishop of Boston, announced the creation of the commission Thursday at the conclusion of a meeting between Francis and his eight cardinal advisers who are helping him govern the church and reform the Vati- can bureaucracy. Boston was the epicenter of the 2002 clerical sexual abuse scandal in the U.S. O'Malley told reporters that the commission, made up of international lay and religious experts on sex abuse, would study current programs to protect children, better screen priests, train church personnel and suggest new initiatives for both the Holy See to implement inside the Vatican City State and for bishops to implement around the world. The initiative came as a surprise, and seemed hastily put together as if Francis wanted to signal a get-tough approach amid recent questions about his commitment to fighting abuse. Francis' rather tepid comments to Dutch bishops last week about the need to help victims heal, plus his failure to meet with sex abuse victims while showing tremendous compassion to the sick and disabled every week, had fueled criticism from victims' groups and advocates. O'Malley announced broad areas of study that the Vatican has already signaled were priorities for bishops to focus on, but provided no details about who would be on the commission, or what its size, structure or scope would be. In announcing the commission — the fourth of Francis' papacy — O'Malley noted that the Vatican's involvement in the sex abuse crisis has been largely judicial in nature, with the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith in 2001 taking over church trials for priests accused of raping and molesting children. Now, he said, Francis wants input for a pastoral response, as well. He said he didn't know if the matter of bishop accountability would be undertaken by the new commission.
