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.

You know, some people say, well, if only I could see those miracles that are recorded in the New Testament...if I could only see them for myself. What happened to the majority of people who did see those miracles in their own day? They still managed to suppress the truth in unrighteousness, didn't they? They still managed to turn away. They still managed to think only about themselves, and not about the Christ.

You cannot defeat the Savior by your sinning if you'll come to Him and plead for mercy. So, the Word of the Prophet Ezekiel (33:11) cries out to every one of us here, "Turn, turn, why will you perish, says the Lord. There is abundance of mercy and compassion in Jesus Christ. There's an abundance of life in Jesus Christ." Why would you choose death? Why would you follow the shepherd death into Sheol where there is only darkness and gnashing of teeth? When the Lord of Life comes to you in His Word and says, "I will ransom you. My blood will redeem you. Come. Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest," says the Lord.

Paul wrote so gloriously in II Timothy 1:10 about the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus who abolished death and brought life and mortality to life through the Gospel. For whom did He abolish death? Can we cut Psalm 49 out of our Bibles now? Death is abolished now for each and everyone. Nobody has to read or worry about Psalm 49 any more? No, that's not the message of the Scripture. He abolished death for everyone who knows Him, everyone who is in Him, everyone who accepts Him, everyone who trusts Him; and the glory of that message is that there is no sin that the blood of Jesus Christ cannot cover.

One of the things that strikes me more and more the longer I live--I know that's getting to be a long time--one of the things that most testifies to me about the reliability of the Bible, the truthfulness of the Bible, the reality that the Bible is God's revelation to us, is its coherence. It's the way it all fits together, that authors separated by thousands of years of history and remarkably different cultures, are all saying fundamentally the same message.

Very strikingly, I think we also have the law of redemption relative to the birth of the first born. Exodus 13, "Every first born of the donkey, you shall redeem with a lamb, and if you will not redeem it, you shall break its neck. Every first born of man among your sons, you shall redeem, and when it time to come your son asks you what does this mean? you shall say to him, by the strength of hand, the Lord brought us out of Egypt from the house of slavery, for when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed all the first born in the land of Egypt, both the first born of man and the first born of animals. Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but all the first born of my sons, I redeem." (Verse 4)
