A Turning Point in History

On 31 October 1517 Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses in Wittenberg. By God’s grace, Luther’s courageous act of challenging the corruption and UnBiblical practises of the Medieval Catholic hierarchy launched the Great Reformation.

Unless I am convinced by Scripture or clear reasoning that I am in error- for popes and councils have often erred and contradicted themselves – I cannot recant, for I am subject to the Scriptures I have quoted; my conscience is captive to the Word of God. It is unsafe and dangerous to do anything against one’s conscience. Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. So help me God. Amen.”- Martin Luther

The Reformation Conference will celebrate the heritage of Faith and freedom which God has blessed us with through Reformers like John Wycliffe, John Hus, Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, John Calvin, John Knox and William Tyndale.

It will also present a positive and practical programme of action to implement Reformation principles in our own lives and churches and society today.

“Contend for the Faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints.” Jude 3

Reformation Principles

Some of the great blessings which we benefit from, as a result of the Reformation, includes:

– The Bible available in our own language.
– Scripture alone is our final authority.
– Justification is received by Faith alone.
– Christ alone is the head of the Church.
– Religious freedom.
– Liberty of conscience.
– Free enterprise.
– Lex Rex (the rule of law).
– Separation of powers.
– Constitutionally limited republics.

The Lordship of Christ in all areas of life

“If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, then I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Him. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battlefront besides is merely flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.” – Martin Luther


Our Christian Heritage

The Christian Church has made more positive changes on earth than any other force or movement in history. Most of the languages of the world were first codified and put into writing by Christian missionaries. More schools and universities have been started by Christians than by any other group.

The elevation of women was a Christian achievement as was the abolition of slavery, cannibalism, child sacrifice and widow burning. The Christian Church has been the supreme force in restraining man's inhumanity towards man.

Almost every civilisation and culture had slavery and human sacrifice before the Christian influence came in. Those countries which enjoy the most civil liberties are generally those lands where the Gospel of Christ has penetrated the most.

The Gospel of Christ is life changing, history making and nation transforming! If it doesn't change your life and the lives of those around you then it's not the Biblical Gospel. Join us at the Reformation Conference to celebrate the life changing Word of God.
