SEMPER REFORMANDA! 🚪🔨

For five hundred years, Protestants have been urging for reformation of those corruptions which have arisen over time within the church. Christ Jesus himself washes his bride by his word, sanctifying her "so that he might present the church to himself in splendour, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish" (Eph. 5:27).

Indeed, the work of reformation is ongoing and as necessary in our day as it was in the sixteenth century. There is much we can glean from the Reformers then to apply to our own time.

One of the central works of the Reformation was John Calvin's treatise, The Necessity of Reforming the Church (1544), in which he sets forth the evils within the church, the Reformers' remedies for them, and the urgency of the matter demanding instant amendment. The worship of God was a primary concern throughout the work. Regarding it, Calvin writes:

"I know how difficult it is to persuade the world that God disapproves of all modes of worship not expressly sanctioned by His Word. The opposite persuasion which cleaves to them, being seated, as it were, in their very bones and marrow, is, that whatever they do has in itself a sufficient sanction, provided it exhibits some kind of zeal for the honour of God."

In the present, offering up acceptable and pleasing worship to God remains a great concern needing reform. Not merely because much that passes for worship in many churches falls short of or transgresses God's standard, but also because of the way our actions (or inaction) in other matters impact whether our worship is acceptable to God.

God spoke thus through Isaiah the prophet:
"I cannot endure iniquity and solemn assembly. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates; they have become a burden to me; I am weary of bearing them. When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood." (Isaiah 1:13-15)

Indeed, the hands of our nation are full of blood as we turn away our eyes from the hundreds of preborn image-bearers sacrificed each day in our land. For God does not merely pronounce a curse on those who perform the sacrifice, but also on those who know and do nothing (Deut. 20:5).

Nothing is precisely what most Australian Christians and churches have done for decades, and for this reason alone, this holocaust endures. Parishioners fail to pray about it; pastors fear to preach about it. The pulpits and public squares stand silent as babies' blood stains our streets.

Let us then be about the work of reformation — first in our own lives, then in the churches, and only then shall the nation follow suit.
True reformation must be according to the word of God. There are many who are zealous for their preborn neighbours, but believe this zeal then justifies their legislative bills which transgress that which God's word requires. Calvin in the quotation above admonished those who applied this attitude to worship in his own day. He continues:

"But since God not only regards as fruitless, but also plainly abominates, whatever we undertake from zeal to His worship, if at variance with His command what do we gain by a contrary course? The words of God are clear and distinct, “Obedience is better than sacrifice."

Indeed, God has said plainly that he abominates those that show partiality and acquit the guilty. Moreover, there is strong evidence demonstrating that such legislation is also fruitless; the slaughter continues at even greater rates than before in "abortion free" American states. Therefore, in like fashion: "Obedience is better than compromise".

Let us conclude with Calvin once more, "The question is not, whether the church labors under diseases both numerous and grievous . . . but whether the diseases are of a kind the cure of which admits not of longer delay, and as to which, therefore, it is neither useful nor becoming to await the result of slow remedies".

We cannot wait to speak any longer.
The Church cannot remain silent to the slaughter.
For the sake of her worship...

PEOPLE OF LIFE AND PEOPLE OF DEATH

There are two kinds of people: those who are for life and those who are for death. The first worship the Lord of Life, who conquered death and lives forever. The second hate him and his claim to universal authority because they love their own ways, which lead to death (c.f. Proverbs 8:36, Matthew 7:13; 28:18, John 3:19).

Elijah and Michael encountered both kinds of people recently at Sydney Town Hall, including one who brought death for a living...

The afternoon began with a providential encounter with pastor and cultural theologian Stephen McAlpine, author of Being the Bad Guys and Futureproof. We spoke briefly about the fight to abolish abortion and our current cultural context. Let us know if you'd be interested in seeing Stephen join us on the street or perhaps discussing engaging the culture on a podcast!

Elijah then had a long discussion with a young Irish man, who was provoked by a sign that questioned who the real victims in our society are (image: rainbow-painted, blood-soaked hands with an abortion victim below). He pointed out that sodomites are often the victims of unjustified assaults. This may be true, and such assaults are evil, yet they are also illegal in Australia and carry heavy criminal penalties, while assaults upon the preborn are both tolerated and government-funded. Despite our disagreements, we found some common ground and parted in peace.

Another conversation seemed to be heading in a similar direction as a group of young women inquired about why we opposed abortion. We presented our arguments and answered their objections charitably and calmly. Yet when they left, they broke completely from their former civility and returned insults and curses. They could not conceal their true hearts any longer.

Michael had several productive conversations with people of many worldviews, Atheists, Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and Catholics. He recalls speaking with an older Christian woman who was heartbroken over our nation's bloodshed. She shared her own miscarriage and her experience seeking to stop a Buddhist woman from aborting her 3 children, replying, 'They'll just be reborn'.

There were two atheists and a Hindu who opposed abortion too. We implored them to seek the Christ, one already was, and the Hindu said he would. He had denied that India had abortion until we reminded him of the dead girls.

One liberal Muslim woman was seeking to defend Islam from misogyny by defending Mohammad marrying Aisha. She admitted that rapists benefit from loose abortion laws and several other points. Some of her thoughts were confused, and others clear, but she was fairly respectful, and we pray she keeps asking questions.

The most intense conversation came at the end of the night as we were packing up. A woman approached us with her partner and claimed to be an abortionist. She aggressively demanded we explain various facets of abortion procedures and insisted that the child in the womb is not human. We showed her quotations from various biological and embryological textbooks to the contrary and argued from basic logic that the fetus developing in the mother is (a) human, (b) living, and (c) her child, to whom she bears a special moral responsibility.

Despite these proofs, she couldn't help but return to covered ground when her arguments were exhausted. Bringing up the teen r**e victim, Elijah said he would offer to help the victim care for the child or find someone else to. He confronted the abortionist, suggesting she would rather that the victim murder the child. The woman agreed and said she would help her do that. When we pointed out how evil that was, she testified, "I sleep really well at night."

We concluded the conversation by pointing her to the better way of caring for those in difficult situations: the way of life. By pursuing justice, which protects the innocent and punishes the guilty, we respond rightly to evil. We do not overcome evil with evil, but overcome evil with good.

As Michael shared with a Filipino man who was not sure of his own salvation, even the thief on the cross, who had lived a life of evil and was facing justice for it, in his final moments recognised that fact and cried out to Jesus. He found assurance and salvation in Christ's grace. That grace and mercy are offered to all, even the chief of sinners. It may be yours if you put your trust in him alone.

THE TRUTH CONFRONTS, THE GOSPEL TRANSFORMS

From heated debates about abortion to unexpected conversations about Jesus Christ, it was another eventful weekend of abolitionist outreach in Perth.

Some came looking for an argument. Others came looking for answers. And a few came looking for God!

On Sunday, a group of young women approached the abolitionists armed with seemingly every objection imaginable. R**e, bodily autonomy, foetal development, and even disagreements over the six days of creation in Genesis! Yet the conversation repeatedly returned to one question: When, if ever, is it acceptable to deliberately kill an unborn child?

Meanwhile, several young men insisted, “I don’t have a womb, so I can’t tell a woman what to do!” This opened conversations about men's responsibility to defend vulnerable human life, including the unborn, and the often-overlooked grief of fathers who have lost children to abortion.

Other discussions addressed pregnancies resulting from r**e, providing opportunities to speak about justice for victims, accountability for perpetrators, and compassion for both mothers and their unborn children.

On Saturday, one abolitionist spent over half an hour speaking with a young man working in trauma care who was undecided about abortion. Their fascinating discussion covered embryology, when human life begins, the difference between a foetus and a tumour, and even the reliability of scientific research. By the end, he expressed appreciation for the respectful exchange and promised to give abortion some serious thought.

But some of the most encouraging encounters were about the Gospel!

During one conversation about abortion, a young woman suddenly announced, “I want to go talk about God now!” before making a beeline for another abolitionist holding a sign about Christ!

Another young woman, dressed in goth fashion, confessed, “I've been really wanting to have faith recently.” She gratefully accepted Christian literature and departed with a cheerful “Peace and love!” The response? “Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace!”

A young woman wearing an ankh symbol also proved surprisingly interested in Christianity, while another was so excited after spotting the outreach from a bus that she came over to meet the team!

There were discussions with a Muslim who rejected the authority of Scripture, a Roman Catholic troubled by the proclamation of salvation through Christ alone, and a Jewish gentleman who briefly expressed his support.

One particularly encouraging encounter involved a young man from a nominal Hindu background who was led in a prayer of confession and openness to Christ and directed towards Bible resources.

Another young man, struggling with drug use and despair, heard about the hope found in Jesus Christ. Others gratefully received Gospel literature, including a copies of John's Gospel.

Behind the signs, conversations and occasional heated exchanges was something less visible: prayer.

Please pray for those who heard the Gospel, those wrestling with the question of abortion, and those beginning to seek Christ.

We live in an age and culture where child sacrifice has been normalised and justified. Where is the Church, and why is she so silent in the face of this tragedy? The only lasting answer to a culture of death and darkness is the transforming light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few” (Matthew 9:37, KJV).

Yet we are grateful to God that our small team here in Western Australia has grown tremendously, as more men and women rise up to defend their unborn neighbours and lend their voices to the most vulnerable among us. May we continue to boldly proclaim Christ, call sinners to repentance, and declare the truth of God's Word!
