Time for god

The reformer Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Germany, to Margaret and Hans Luder—his name as it was locally pronounced. Hans worked in the copper mines and was determined that Martin would become a lawyer. After attending Latin school, Martin was sent to the University of Erfurt at the age of thirteen. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the shortest time allowed by the university. His sharp intellect earned him the nickname “The Philosopher.”

Sometimes, God whispers. Elijah called it God’s “still small voice” (1 Kings 19:12 KJV). Sometimes, God shouts. Moses experienced lightning and thunder (Ex. 19:16-19). The prophet Nahum said God’s presence was like a storm (Nahum 1:3). In Job, God comes in a “whirlwind.”
