This year saw the 35th annual School of Theology at the Tabernacle, the largest reformed conference in the UK, with very many pastors and Christian workers attending, and with many younger people seeking a more biblical and committed style of Christian life and service than that so widely seen today.
The sessions were designed to bring together inspirational and practical themes for Christian people reaching souls in an age of unprecedented moral and cultural change.
A cultural divide is certainly entrenched among evangelical churches today, many adopting charismatic, worldly-entertainment style music, while others stand firmly with traditional, reverent worship. And what is true of worship culture has extended to the everyday activities of individual Christians, those in contemporary churches tending to embrace much more worldly lifestyles and aspirations. There is a great need for clear definitions and explanations of the biblical doctrine of separation from the world as universally held and practised by Bible believers for centuries, until recent decades.
To be loyal to Truth is surely essential for the true blessing of the Holy Spirit in evangelism and church life. The addresses this year clarified issues, and uplifted and encouraged God’s people to maintain the standards of fervour and faithfulness through which the Lord will grant renewed spiritual instrumentality and stability.
