January 12, 1521: The Promise of Hell

If it weren't for Martin Luther's father confessor, Luther might not have survived his years in the Augustinian monastery. Today, Luther thinks back to his long hours in the confessional and how the Lord led him to the true gospel of grace. A donor-supported outreach of Ligonier Ministries.
