For eight days in Lent (6 March 1522), beginning on Invocavit Sunday, 9 March, Luther preached eight sermons, which became known as the “Invocavit Sermons”. In these sermons, he hammered home the primacy of core Christian values such as love, patience, charity, and freedom, and reminded the citizens to trust God’s word rather than violence to bring about necessary change.

One thought on “In times when Christians call for war, being a peacemaker can seem like heresy.”

Dear USA, Martin Luther would not approve
Martin Luther taught that love, peace and patience were the way of the Christian, not war. Just saying.
