In
rediscovering the gospel of
salvation by faith and grace alone,
Luther started to reform the Church
through a reformation of theology.
In
the 18th century through movements
like the Moravians there was a
recovery of a new intimacy with God,
which led to a reformation of
spirituality, the Second
Reformation. Now God is
touching the wineskins themselves,
initiating a Third Reformation, a
reformation of structure. Wolfgang
Simpson,
15 Theses
"There are
some who would suggest
it's a reformation of ecclesiology
parallel in significance to the
reformation in theology in the 1500s
and the reformation in mission in
the 1800s, and this is a third
component of necessary reformation,"
he says. "I think that is true." Murry
Moerman, director of church
planting, Outreach Canada, Delta,
B.C.

The net now forming . . .
At this very moment in history God
is beginning to cover the world with
a network of interlocking
relationships between groups of
believers in every place. Although
the net is in a very early stage of
development, it is forming at a
rapid pace. Initially, God is
joining key individuals and groups
together, making critical personal
and geographical connections for His
future purposes. But His intention
is to involve everyone who is
willing to be a part of this net.
