An interview with Dr. W. Robert Godfrey about his exodus from the Christian Reformed Church into the United Reformed Churches.

Dr. W. Robert Godfrey discusses his own Reformed background along with the state of the Reformed church in the late 1990's.

Our confessional Reformed denominations should consider a bold move to express their unity and increase the credibility of their witness by joining together under one general assembly with each former denomination becoming a particular synod under that general assembly.

Reformed churches must be big tents in the sense that they welcome all persons regardless of gender, race, ethnic background, or sinful beliefs or lifestyles that they want to put behind them. But Reformed churches, especially in their worship, must not seek to satisfy unconverted desires for entertainment and self-gratification. They must teach, worship and live according to the Word of God alone.

Areas of concern regarding “The Confessional Conference” of 1993 are expressed.

Too often we have trouble placing such a high evaluation on preaching because it does not seem to correspond to our experience.  Many Christians today believe that they came to faith through the witness of family or friends or through a small group Bible study.  They may have heard relatively poor preaching and find it hard to attribute such importance to preaching in general or in their own spiritual development.

The offering clearly has a vital function in the financial life of the congregation, but how does it function spiritually in the worship of the church?

How Christians are to thoughtfully engage with pop culture.

The importance of the blessings pronounced in our worship is a significant teaching of Scripture that ministers need to insure that the people of God understand its meaning and value.

The ancient worship of the church, which focused on the Psalms and sung without musical accompaniment, was simple, spiritual, and reverent.

The action of Synod 1990 in the Christian Reformed Church was tyrannical, judged purely from the perspective of Church Order Article 31. In 1990 as in 1944, Article 31 is at the center of our church struggles. 

The power of Calvin's spiritual counsel was in the fine balance that he maintained between his insistence on militant faithfulness in the real battles of the Christian life and his constant reminders of the assurance of victory that the Christian has in Christ. 

As we seek to reform the music of the church, we must try to do that – as Calvin did – in a biblical way.
