1 Corinthians 1.2 - All Saints Everyday

Last week was “All Saints Day,” a Christian holy day tracing back to the early Church. Believers remembered the spiritual bond between those in heaven ("Church triumphant"), and on earth ("Church militant"), giving thanks for their godly testimonies. Now the whole Christian calendar is filled with days to remember special people! Like human traditions do, this practice drifted away from Scripture. Instead of just praising God for those gone ahead, many began praying to them! Martin Luther intentionally nailed his 95 Thesis on the eve of this muddied memorial day. Now I know as many saints in heaven as I do on earth, and in BICF we worship as a global church, so I rejoice in all the saints daily! One day the Church militant will be the Church triumphant! Our Savior and God will be enthroned among all His saints and receive their rightful eternal praise!
