The Deformed Reformed Church

I remember I had a class with the president of Reformed Theological Seminary and he said,

“The Church forms, she Deforms, and then needs to be Reformed.”

I think that the time for Reform is now, and the corruption needs to be addressed. There is too much spiritual abuse, bullying, and pride in the name of theological correctness. This Deformed church doesn’t feel like it reflects the heart of most of the sermons given on hills by our Lord and crucified Savior.

I became a Christian ten years ago, and then soon after I accepted Calvin into my heart. This is obviously a joke, but to some it isn’t an overstatement. I was saved and converted in the heat of the Young, Restless and Reformed movement coupled with the Neo Calvinist Church of the Gospel Coalition, the Resurgence, Mars Hill, Desiring God, and even attended Reformed Theological Seminary after attending a Reformed college. Whew.

So I am not an expert or professionally Deformed, but I do have a LOT of experience in the tradition.
