Always being reformed by the Word of God. That's how we are always reforming. Not according to our own creativity but by the wisdom of God alone. God that's hard. First we gotta preach faithfully, then we gotta watch out for our own deceitful hearts and the prodings of the devil to take interpretation loosely and love our enemies & neighbours. If I were depending on the strength of men I'd dispair but thanks be to God he shall fulfill his promises according to his own will. Sigh Jesus couldn't come sooner but that's beside the point. We shall contend for the faith as long as God the Father pleases. Man would that be a fearfully awesome day. The real retirement day for the saints on earth.
Anyway here's what we are contending for. God has spoken in Scripture and Scripture alone is the ultimate authority on earth and heaven given to us in the Holy Bible. While human creativity is a great thing for industry and arts, to rely on it as the ultimate yardstick of truth is foolish for the Scripture says in Romans 3:10-11 "None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God." Hence we should always prayerfully seek understanding that can only be given by the Holy Spirit of God as found in the book of Ezekiel 36:27 "And I will put my Soirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules."
Happy Reformation Day 2010 !
