A torrent of truth, or what we actually believe, September 22, 2021.

Introduction.

I recently had the pleasure of going through Michael Reeves' engaging history of the

Reformation, a book entitled The Unquenchable Flame.

I bring this up because he made a passing comment about Luther that struck me as being

in the highest degree relevant to our times.

He said, in effect, that when God's appointed moment for real reformation came, Luther

was the slewskate that lifted, releasing a torrent of truth.

He became a geyser of goodness.

He wrote, and he wrote, and he preached, and he wrote, and it seemed to me that this is

one of the distinctive characteristics of genuine reformation.

This is because performers have something to say, and they are hot to say it.

Quote, did not we straightly command you that you should not teach in this name, and behold,

Acts 528.

So you may have noticed this already, but an awful lot of content is coming out of Moscow

these days, and we hope in the days to come that we might be enabled to step it up a bit.

I say, step it up a bit, but what I mean to say is that we hope to step it up a lot.

This is because so many things have completely unraveled over the last few generations,

and so many of these disasters were made possible through ill-advised compromises by the

Evangelicals, that it is necessary to go back over everything.
