About The Reformation Resurgence in C-15, Thillagar Street, Ayyappan Nagar, K.K. Nagar Post,, Tiruchirappalli

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord!

The Reformation Resurgence is a Christian Apologetics and Discipleship Organization in India. We are here to only glorify God, by helping the Church which is the body of Christ to understand what they believe, why they believe it, how to live it and to stand strong in the faith and “always be ready” (1 Peter 3:15) to give an intelligent, biblically accurate, and a gracious defence of the Christian faith (Jude 3).

We seek to inform, encourage, strengthen, and equip ordinary Christians, and have a particular concern for missionaries, pastors, and those training for the ministry. We also seek to produce material that is evangelistic and in God’s providence may be used as a means to bring people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as their saviour and Lord.

Proclaiming God’s holiness and His sovereignty is central purpose of The Reformation Resurgence. God has entrusted this ministry to us, and we do not take our calling lightly!

OUR PURPOSE – APOLOGETICS

The Reformation Resurgence is dedicated to equipping Christians with well-researched information on issues that seek to undermine or challenge the truth of Christianity as revealed in the Bible. Our purpose is to seek and bring the truth to all nations, expose false doctrines and traditions of men and to equip the body of Christ to live and practice the Word as God originally intended.

We firmly believe in testing all doctrines to God’s Word and only holding on to what is good. Any belief or teaching that may fail or fall short of this test, regardless of that particular doctrine's origin or even its popularity is rejected. We seek to search the scriptures daily; in the same way Paul commended the Bereans in determining what was true. Through the leading and teaching of God the Holy Spirit we aim to bring 100% pure truth to all nations, teaching them to obey everything He commanded.

OUR PASSION – DISCIPLESHIP

What we desire most is that every Christian, know and pursue the supreme majesty of God. Christians today are increasingly dominated by the spirit of this age rather than by the Spirit of Christ. This generation suffers from anaemic, low views of God as His glory has been obscured. All too often, the character of God is trivialized. Likewise, the pursuit of holiness is minimized, as the church, all too often, has become increasingly like the world. It is our passion to alter this dire course and steer believers toward greater godliness. Our thrust in this ministry is to grow in grasping the majestic supremacy of God over all things. We want believers to know that it is by His supreme mercy that He has saved us by Himself and for Himself.

The Reformation Resurgence seeks to recover in the church a high view of God, a stunning vision of Him who reigns in the heavens over all. The nations can’t be made into disciples, if God's people don't know what they believe, why they believe it, how to live it and how to share it. That's why we are committed to helping equip believers in the faith. We know first-hand that understanding the "what" and "why" we believe blesses us in all of life. Our worship is enriched, our zeal for Christ is enflamed, our love for His people is strengthened, and our growth in godly wisdom is advanced.

HOW WE DO MINISTRY

Our primary aim for all Christians from every walk of life, no matter the age, is that they be revived and emboldened (become bold or courageous) to live exclusively for the Glory of God. This intentional focus is to impart the knowledge of God, His Holiness and the Biblical truths by equipping pastors and mission leaders, maturing lay people, exposing false doctrines and traditions of men and launching a new reformation in the church today.

Equipping Pastors in Expository Preaching

This ministry is devoted to calling those who stand in pulpits to the high standard of biblical preaching. If we are to see a new reformation in this day, there must, first, be a reformation of the pulpit. Only then can the church, the body of Christ, experience transcendent worship, authentic godliness, and true evangelism. More than anything else, the pulpits of churches must be returned to solid teaching and preaching of God’s Word. Such exposition must be God-exalting, Christ-centred, and Spirit-empowered.

Equipping of Mission Leaders and Missionaries

This ministry is also devoted to work with missionaries and mission leaders. Although they are often without much formal training, God has taught them and made them competent. There is a sense in which we would do well to sit at their feet and learn, but there is another sense in which their lives and ministries would prosper even more if they had at least some of the resources that abound among us. It is, therefore the goal to provide whatever training and resources necessary to advance the Gospel through these missionaries.

It is our goal to encourage pastors and missionaries to continue striving to know God and submit their lives and ministries to the dictates of His Word. To put it bluntly, our passion is to demonstrate to God’s men that God’s Word is all-sufficient for all things in life and ministry. It is “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (II Timothy 3:16-17).

Leading Lay People to Maturity

The passion of this ministry is discipleship and this focus drives us into informing and maturing lay people of important Biblical truths and exposing false doctrines and traditions of men through:

Preaching in Churches
Conducting Bible Studies and Teaching Theology in a Systematic Way
Teaching of church history and important Spiritual Movements
Conducting Biblical Conferences
Publishing of Literature, Magazines and Articles

It’s our passion to bring seminary-level teachings in a plain and simple way that is understandable to the lay person and inspire them to stand strong on the biblical truths in these days of deception.

OUR STAND ON MONEY MATTERS

The chief principle that guides this ministry is the Sanctity of Truth. Though we seek to persuade, exhort, and encourage people, we carefully avoid any methods that manipulate, such as imposing false hope or guilt, or exaggerating benefits or the ministry’s needs. Therefore, we commit to the following standards:

We will never raise support through prodding or manipulating our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We will not take loans or go for debts to fulfil ministerial needs.
We will not make “crisis appeals” even if a financial crisis exists.
We will not use “bait-and-switch” tactics.
We will not promise false benefits that we cannot guarantee.
We will not use the designated funds for any other purpose. It will only be spent for that project or cause.
All money that is received as freewill offerings or as voluntary contributions goes directly to the work of spreading the gospel.

OUR BELIEFS

The heartbeat of The Reformation Resurgence is based on the solid Biblical doctrine of the “five solas” a Latin term used to designate the five great foundational rallying cries of the early Reformers during which the gospel and glorious truths of the Christian faith were recovered. They are as follows: “Sola Scriptura” (Scripture Alone); “Sola Gratia” (Grace Alone); “Sola Fide” (Faith Alone); “Solus Christus” (Christ Alone); and “Soli Deo Gloria” (To God Alone Be Glory). Together, these five solas stand as one doctrinal creed, or statement of faith, that capture the core beliefs of The Reformation Resurgence.

AN INVITE TO MINISTER WITH US

You too can be a part of this ministry by:

Praying for Us

The most important part you can play in The Reformation Resurgence is through regular prayer, we covet your prayers more than anything else. Prayer is the greater work in the Kingdom of God. We are not large, nor strong, nor wise. We exist by the gracious hand of our Master. We depend upon your prayers more than any other benefit you may give. Our greatest desire is that you might continue to lift us up to the Father in the Name of the Son and in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Financial Support

We wish to provide most of our Articles, Books, Magazine, Bible Study Materials, Conferences and whatever we do, free of cost. We have received everything freely from the Lord and we give it all out to others freely. Your cheerful giving will help us to provide all that we do, for free and keep it that way, to help advance the Gospel.

Ministry certainly requires a lot of money and we don't have any millionaires supporting our work. We have sought the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness first and know that God will supply all our needs. This is what we believe, a genuine work of God may use money, but it is never dependent on money. It is dependent only on the power of God. Where any work is dependent on money, it is not a genuine work of God. If this ministry is of the Lord, then He will be our Patron. If He is with us, He will direct His people to give. If He is not with us, we will not and should not succeed.

If you are willing to help us, please send a message to us and we will send you the details.

We humbly submit ourselves and this ministry as your servants for the glory of God. We invite all Christians, no matter the denominations, ethnicity and class lines, to join us in an effort to renew the contemporary church back to the “ancient paths” (Jeremiah 6:16) so that we can truly speak and live for the Glory of God alone.
