Reformation Day: The gospel of salvation by
grace alone, as confessed by the sixteenth-century Reformation, is now openly
challenged and gravely threatened in almost all conservative Reformed and
Presbyterian churches. The challenge and threat come from the movement that
calls itself the "federal vision." The issue is the truth of
the covenant of God with the children of believers: Is the covenant
conditional or unconditional? Thus is finally brought to a head an ages-long
controversy in the Reformed churches over the covenant of grace--a controversy
that has repeatedly occasioned division and schism in the churches, including
the Protestant Reformed Churches. Southwest PRC is sponsoring a public
Reformation Day lecture to address this burning contemporary issue, and to
defend the gospel given us by the Reformation. On Friday evening, October
29, 2010, Prof. David J. Engelsma will speak on "The Federal Vision, an
Unconditional Covenant, and the Gospel of Grace" at the First Christian
Reformed Church in Byron Center, MI. An extended period for questions
will follow the speech. Reserve the
date; make plans to attend; spread the word; and pray for God's blessing on
this work of evangelism on behalf of the Reformed faith!
