Why Events

Reformation means standing against the spirit of the age, so pastors and church leaders must join together to encourage, equip, and embolden one another in the work of the Reformation. Most importantly, a society brings the Word of God and prayer to bear on the leaders themselves, strengthening them for the work of a faithful shepherd.

How Directory

Reformation starts in your local church community. The Reformation Societies are the means to achieving the renewal of the Church, which is our Lord’s Bride. Furthermore, our Gospel is timeless in its message, relevance, and sufficiency for the building of Christ’s Church, the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Biblical standard of Gospel preaching, teaching and worship are embodied in the Solas of the Protestant Reformation and are now stated in the Cambridge Declaration of 1996. For in Scripture alone, we learn of a salvation that is by grace alone, received through faith alone, because of Christ alone, and in all this, to God be the Glory alone. Here We Stand, like-minded in His service and confident in His Work.

Total Depravity 28

The Apostle John’s fifth and final book in the New Testament, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, does not shy from the truth of radical depravity. Those who hate God will also hate his disciples. “I, John, your brother and partner in the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance that are in Jesus, was on the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus” (Revelation 1:9 ESV).

Jude explained the true nature of fallen man through his brief epistle. He used several metaphorical descriptions to define the true nature of an apostate, or false believer.

He identified them as ungodly. “For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 1:4 ESV).

In his epistles, John the Apostle continued what he previously documented in his gospel. To begin with, John explained that sinners exist in spiritual darkness. “This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth” (1 John 1:5-6 ESV).

James said a lot about the fallen nature and condition of man before God. He began with an explanation about the reality and pattern of temptations and sinful choices.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death. (James 1:13-15 ESV)

The remaining New Testament Epistles effectively present the doctrine of radical depravity in fallen and sinful man. The Book of Hebrews, along with the epistles by James, John, and Jude, all contribute to the argument that sin has totally affected sinners in their intellect, emotions and will.
