By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season Hebrews 11:24-25 (KJV)

By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time. Hebrews 11:24-25 (NIV)

What “sparked” the Reformation? How did the Renaissance make the Reformation possible? What is this whole “mess” (earth/life/struggle) about? Why is worship important? How is worship important?
