About Semper Reformanda
Semper Reformanda (Latin: “Always Reforming”)
This newsletter seeks to clarify the gospel and contend for the Faith that was once for all delivered to the saints through devotional yet theologically rich content. Rather than pit doctrine against experience, my goal is to guide readers to see the power of the inerrant scriptures that ground our doctrine and fuel our enjoyment of Christ.
Semper Reformanda helps you resist the doctrinal winds of the culture, allowing you to confidently defend and cherish the true gospel in a world of uncertainty and falsehoods.
I hope to do this through the following:
Devotional Pieces: Thoughts from the Word of God that encourage your soul.
Theology Thursday: (Select Thursdays) A bite-sized lesson in orthodox, Biblical doctrine in three simple steps: 1 Concept, 2 Definitions, 3 Passages to meditate on.
Theological writing: Stirring our worship for Christ by taking a deeper look at the Word of God and defending the orthodox Christian faith from a creedal/confessional perspective.
Exploring Boston: Follow my journey as I become a student of a Scottish preacher, Thomas Boston, who profoundly advanced the gospel during much controversy in the 18th century.
I pray you enjoy beholding Christ just a bit more as a result of reading and hopefully you join me in clarifying the gospel, defending the faith, and serving the Church.
