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.

Anyone who is familiar with the life of Martin Luther should not be surprised by his affection for the Epistle to the Romans and its stress on the gospel.

“Did God actually say?” Since Genesis 3 unfolded with the subtle but seductive question spoken to Eve concerning the truthfulness of God’s Word, the world, the flesh, and the devil have attacked the authority of God’s spoken and written revelation. Throughout redemptive history, charlatans have endeavored to circumvent it, false teachers have sought to dismiss it, and heretics have perpetrated schemes to replace it, while many within the church just as soon ignore it.

In light of the overall tenor of Scripture, along with the Pauline catalog, it is reasonable to assume that the Apostle Paul was not advocating compromise to the principle of Sola Scriptura in winning people to Christ with the Gospel. However, he was advocating a gracious liberty in interacting with the lost.

Is there any way post-modern cultural contextualization can compliment a commitment to Sola Scriptura and not be a detriment? Yes there can be a complementary relationship and doing so requires the Biblicist to remain committed to Sola Scriptura, which therefore frames his philosophy in sharing the Gospel.

In carrying out the primary command to preach the word, what else is the man of God to do while in the midst of a culture which is attacking the truth to which he is to be committed? Paul gives four commands. They are not optional, but rather indispensible edicts which must be obeyed. These directives are in direct contrast (“As for you”…) with what false teachers, and their followers, desire. These commands are found in 2 Timothy 4:5 which says, “As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Timothy 4:5 ESV)
