English Reformation

Five hundred years after the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, many people - Christians and non-Christians alike - view it as a conflict about issues that are no longer relevant to the church. But what if the Reformation still has something to teach us? What if the doctrines so vigorously debated and defended by the Reformers still matter today? In this accessible primer on the Reformation, Michael Reeves and Tim Chester introduce listeners to 11 key questions raised by the Reformers.

A Godward Gaze is a snapshot of a man on mission. It is about one man who set his sights on the Celestial City and never looked back. His name is John Calvin. He was a pious man, driven by God’s glory and a love for Scripture. His holy pursuit was rare among men and a model for followers of Christ. David Steele points readers to a truly remarkable man - a biblical expositor, a theologian, and a courageous reformer. Calvin changed a city and helped changed the world. His godly example may change your life.

OUR lot is cast in days when it is the fashion to despise everything that is old. There is a morbid readiness to throw aside all things which bear about them the least mark of antiquity, and to treat them with as little respect as last year’s almanacs or worn-out clothes. The only exceptions I can think of are, old lace, old coins, old pictures, and old wine! But as a general rule, old opinions and old institutions are often condemned as useless lumber, and shovelled out of the way, simply because they are old. Now, I am not one of those who object to all changes and reform of old things....

Faith should be more than rituals and routines. It should move you, challenge you, and shape the way you live. That’s exactly what Pietism set out to do. Born in the quiet corners of 17th-century Europe, this movement turned stagnant religion into a dynamic force—one that put passion back into worship, purpose into belief, and power into the hands of everyday believers. Its impact still ripples through churches, communities, and hearts today. This isn’t just history—it’s the story of a movement that made faith personal. Pietists believed that Christianity wasn’t just about ...

For many modern Christians, the regulative principle is a foreign concept. The question of how one is to go about the worship of God in the assembly of the saints is one that has never occurred to them. One does not have to look very far in order to notice the consequences of neglecting this subject. From the more extreme examples of preachers on trampolines to the more widely accepted practices of skits and solos, the modern church has found itself outside the boundaries of biblically prescribed worship. The Lord has given us His blueprint for His worship. He has commanded us not to add to...

This book is a call back to original Christianity. There is reason for discontentment with church as we’ve known it. Scripture reveals King Jesus started something very different than what we commonly encounter today. The Church Jesus brought forth in the first century, despite its trials and temptations, was united, loving, faithful, and powerful. It ruled spiritually. It “turned the whole world upside down” through evangelism (Acts 17:6). It produced faithful Believers and loving martyrs. What happened to it? Can it emerge again? YES! • The New Covenant leadership Jesus initiated ...

I had an encounter that left me shaken and shocked. What I saw was clearly a picture of the church…clearly in my spirit, that is, because my intellect was confounded. It didn't make sense. In my encounter, the vision I saw was shocking and quite mysterious. I have had many visions of the Church, of reformation, but this one was markedly different. It sure didn’t look like a vision of the Church, but it immediately felt like one. I was standing in an apocalyptic looking environment. It was dark and weighty. In front of me was an absolutely massive, burning crater. God immediately ...
