31 October is Reformation Day. The first step to reforming our church is personal Reformation.
1. Schedule time with God in your diary. If you fail to plan then you plan to fail. If something (or someone) is important then you need to schedule time in your diary. Just as you would not miss an appointment with anyone else, be sure to honour your appointment with God. "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him." 2 Chronicles 16:9

To listen to the latest Salt and Light Radio interview on Reformation Today, click here. Ecclesia Reformata Reformanda Est! (The Church, having been Reformed, is still to be Reformed). The Five Solas of the Reformation Sola Scriptura! Scripture alone is our ultimate authority on all matters of faith and conduct. Solus Christus! Christ alone is the Head of the Church, and He is the only Mediator between God and man. Sola Gratia! Salvation is by the Grace of God alone. Sola Fide! Salvation is received by Faith alone. Soli Deo Gloria! Everything is to be done for the glory of God alone. These great Reformation principles challenge us to regular and rigorous self-criticism and constant re-evaluation of our personal lives, congregations, missions, families and society.
Contrast
This year, 2017, marks the 500th anniversary of the launch of the Protestant Reformation and the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. These two monumentally important historic milestones present the stark choice before us: Reformation or Revolution! Geïnspireerd door en gebaseerd op de bekende 95 stellingen van Dr. Maarten Luther, die gepubliceerd werden op 31 oktober 1517 en waarmee de Protestantse Reformatie begon. Wij moedigen u aan deze ‘95 Stellingen voor Reformatie Vandaag’ biddend te overdenken en biddend Gods Woord te bestuderen, voor discussie en om in de kerk bespreekbaar te maken en om vandaag een positieve inhoud aan de Reformatie te geven.
Elles sont inspirées et fondées sur les 95 thèses historiques du Dr. Martin Luther, publiées le 31 Octobre 1517, qui ont été à l’origine de la Réforme protestante. Nous présentons ces 95 thèses, incitant à une réflexion portée par la prière, l’étude de la Parole de Dieu, et un dialogue au sein de l’Eglise en vue d’une Réformation pour notre temps.
Reformation to the Remotest Regions
2017 is Reformation 500. 31 October 2017, will mark the 500th anniversary of Professor Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses on the church door of the Schlosskirche (Castle Church) in Wittenberg. At a time of religious corruption, this was a mighty call that the Church honour and obey the Word of God for the renewal of Faith and morals. This is by far the most significant spiritual anniversary that will take place in our life time. |
