How does reformation happen today?

Rob Ventura explains in this video that when we say, “Semper Reformanda” we are not looking for something that we haven’t discovered yet. Rather, we are going back to the Bible. This is a key thing for us to keep in mind today. 

Reformation goes back to the Bible. It examines current practices in light of Scripture. We must be willing to go wherever Scripture takes us. No matter which topic is involved, we have to consider what Scripture says.

The Bible addresses all matters. We must open our Bibles, prayerfully consider whether our lives align with Scripture, and learn from those who have gone on before us. 

2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) - "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

It always continues according to Scripture. It's back to the Bible. When we talk about semper reformanda, we're not talking about Reformation like we're looking for something that we haven't discovered yet? No, we're going back to the Bible, and that's key for us to keep in mind. I think God's given us His mind in Holy Scripture, and I think after 2, 000 years, you know, if we're really discovering new things, then, you know, there's nothing new under the heavenlies, we want to be careful.

But Reformation goes back to the Bible. It examines our current practices in light of Holy Scripture, and we've got to be willing to go wherever the Word of God takes us. Again, whether it's worship or whether it's the Lord's Day, whether it's preaching or whether it's just biblical ecclesiology. I can't tell you how many pastors I meet where they say we have no membership in our churches or biblical eldership or what does a qualified elder look like? The Bible addresses all of these matters, So we need to open our Bibles, prayerfully consider them, and learn from the great Reformers who have gone before us.
