Relevance of the Reformed Faith
If the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is to bring transformation to this world, it must return without compromise to the tenets of the Reformed faith. The man-centered gospel of the modern church is wreaking havoc on Christian civilization as we are witnessing the fallout of revivalism, individualism, pietism, and retreatism. Only the God-centered theology of the Reformation applied to every area of life can supply the resources necessary for building Christian civilization.
