Here I Stand--Do Your Homework

I feel like part of the problem today is that people have forgotten how to or simply refuse to thing for themselves. They let the media or politicians or friends or parents tell them what to think and just follow blindly. 

I want to do my own homework, not take the word of the media, a politician or anyone else. If something doesn’t seem right or line up with my values, then I will check it out. As a monk, Martin Luther was uncomfortable with the Catholic church and their emphasis on works, purgatory, etc. So, he did his homework, spent extensive time in prayer and felt God leading him to make his stand.
