I know I have not posted anything substantial for over two weeks. This post won’t change that. But a number of things around the internet stood out to me here on Reformation Day/Halloween that are worth posting to the Void if for no other reason than so I can find them later myself.
Paul Lamey shares the must-see Reformation Polka as well providing some links and ideas to get your Reformation day party started.
Albert Mohler explains the deal with Halloween.
Tim Challies made a good case last year for leaving the light on. This year he’s collected a passel of Reformation Day posts.
A couple years ago I wrote a few Reasons for Remembering the Reformation and then preached through the five Solas and five Reformers. The notes for those messages are not available but the audio is. And here is my list of Recommended Reformation Resources.
Changing tunes, my wife pointed this out as well, but if you happen to have a knitted turtle in need of a costume, look no further than Captain Knack Sparrow. Quite an elaborate creation and entertaining story by my sister.
Finally, though it is significantly less important than Luther’s 95 Thesis, if I were to nail something on a door today it would be the following rant: How can my local “Christian” radio justify playing Christmas songs already? On my drive home this afternoon I was almost asphyxiated when I heard “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.” Are you kidding me? I thought Christmas music on Thanksgiving was early, but this is senseless. I don’t even think Johann Tetzel would approve.

How can my local “Christian” radio justify playing Christmas songs already?
Aye. They passed it off as being their Halloween costume - they were “dressing up” like it was Christmas. Yeaaaaah weak sauce. I remember last year they didn’t start playing Christmas music until December - except they spent all of Nov bragging about the fact that they weren’t playing Christmas music. But hey, that’s the least of the station’s issues - at least they play some good music.
I’m really anxious for the release of Tetzel’s Catholicon figure in the Re-Formers series. He’s the last one I need to complete my St. Peter’s Playset.
The most important question is, would Steven J. Camp (aka CAMPONTHIS, or CAMPI) even listen to Christian radio?
That, my friends, is critical.
Happy to see you put up the reformer action figure. Good times.
