The speech will be entitled “To Be, or Not to Be, Reformed: Upholding the Form of Subscription.” This lecture is intended for anyone who has an interest in and desire for the church of Jesus Christ to remain faithful to the Bible. It will answer some important questions about this form, including: How long has the Reformed church required this? Why was it necessary? What attacks have been made on this form? How binding should the confessions be? Why will the weakening of the form spell the end of a Reformed church or denomination?

QUOTES FOR CONTEMPLATION

...we ought in the very order of things diligently to contemplate God's fatherly love toward mankind in that he did not create Adam until he had lavished upon the universe all manner of good things. For if he had put him in an earth as yet sterile and empty, if he had given him life before light, he would have seemed to provide insufficiently for his welfare. Now when he
disposed the movements of the sun and stars to human uses, filled the earth, waters, and air with living things, and brought forth an abundance of fruits to suffice as foods, in thus assuming the responsibility of a foreseeing and diligent father of the family he shows his

wonderful goodness toward us. - John Calvin, Institutes, I.14.2
