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.

Atoning Blood 5

Thankfully, the Book of Romans is not just about the problem of sin and death, but also about God’s solution to our problem in Jesus Christ. Yes, the wages of sin is death, but as Paul goes on to say, “the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom. 6:23).

We ourselves are part of the problem. This point is so obvious, and the evidence for it so abundant, that it hardly needs a defense. But consider a gentle reminder. For the purpose of self-examination, consider a series of spiritual questions from old Puritan— questions that test whether we are leading the life that God wants us to live:
Atoning Blood 3

If ever a theologian kept his mind and heart fixed on Christ crucified it was the apostle Paul. One of the best places to see his doctrine of the atoning blood of Jesus Christ is the third chapter of Romans. Here we see, first of all, and as clearly as anywhere in Scripture, the necessity of the atonement.

Doubtless Tyndale would be pleased to know that today the primary meaning of “atonement” in the English dictionary is “the reconciliation of God and man through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ.” But he would be much less pleased to know how unpopular atonement has become. Doubtless this is because it deals with too many subjects that most people would rather ignore, like the wrath and curse of God, the punishment of sin, and the old, blood-stained cross.

In producing his famous translation of the Bible, the English Reformer William Tyndale introduced many memorable words and phrases into the English language. Ultimately these words came from the Holy Spirit, of course, but someone still had to decide how the divine words of the Old and New Testaments should be translated from Hebrew and Greek into English. The Bible that resulted from Tyndale’s work is full of memorable phrases that have become everyday expressions: “let there be light”; “the salt of the earth”; “the spirit is willing”; “the powers that be”; and so on.
