It was on this day, April 18, 492 years ago that Martin Luther gave testimony at the Diet of Worms, saying those famous words, "Here I stand, I can do no other." Here is a short clip from the old Martin Luther movie. Enjoy this faithful man's stand for truth.
Here is Christian Cyclopedia's description of the Diet of Worms:
"First diet called by young Emperor Charles V, where April 18, 1521, Luther made world-changing speech refusing to recant. He stood alone on Scripture against pope, prelates, and emperor. The diet also presented the Centum gravamina, “Hundred Grievances,” which German nation had against abuses of papacy. Former diets had made similar protests. This time, as previously, no real reforms were effected. "
