      AGENTS OF Change

      Apr 13, 2020

      What on earth is a Reformational church? The Reformational church is God’s agent of constant change from glory to glory, conforming to the image of His Son. That’s why we are straightening and aligning the church to what Jesus intended in the first p

      A Chosen Generation

      1 Peter 2:9

      But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light:

      The Word of God declares that the Church of Jesus Christ is glorious. Despite its faults and failures the Church is essentially glorious. The Church can be nothing less than marvelous because the glory of God dwells in the midst of His people. Moreover, the love of God is manifested towards the Church who in turn responds to tender affection. The Psalmist exulted that The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of Thee, O city of God (Psalm 87:2, 3).

      Unfortunately, many within the sphere of Christendom do not think of the Church as being glorious. The critics of the Church unite from within and from without to belittle, degrade, and strip from the Church its essential glory. Dispensational theology, for example, teaches the Church is an apostate organization. Nevertheless, the Church remains strong and stable and set apart for the Master’s use. Consider what makes the Church unique and glorious.

      First, there is the matter of sound doctrine. In the midst of a people that live on images and symbols, the Church has the substance of the gospel, which is rooted in reality. The Church alone can, and does, set forth basic Bible doctrine, which tells of the ruin of man, the redemption of sinners brought by Christ at the Cross and the regenerating work of God the Holy Spirit. Those who are not interested in sound doctrine might find themselves wishing they had been interested. In March of 1992 I spoke to a lady in Dallas, Texas. Her twenty-year-old daughter wanted to be baptized into the Mormon religion and the mother was suddenly alarmed. She was frantically searching to find out what the Bible had to say about sin, salvation, heaven, and hell. God’s people should be very concerned about knowing sound doctrine. The Psalmist was hungry for the Word of God and said, I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments (Psa. 119:131).

      Second, there is the matter of worldliness. The Bible commands Christians to love neither the world nor the things that are in the world (1 John 2:15). A missionary once wrote, I looked for the world, and found it in the Church. Then I looked for the Church and found it in the world. It is
