Well, it was only a matter of time. On March 20th we held our first meeting of the Alberta Reformation Society. The meeting was held in Spruce Grove, Alberta and we had 10 in attendence. There were unfortunately 4 others who due to last minutes circumstances were unable to attend. We had lunch together, a wonderful time of fellowship, reviewed the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals and the Reformation Society's call. We looked at the Cambridge Declaration, what the future could look like for us as a Society here in Alberta, and finished with a time of prayer together. I was really happy how it all came together.

To follow the lead from our last post, let's look at the second thesis of the Cambridge Declaration.

Solus Christus: The Erosion of Christ-Centered Faith

As evangelical faith becomes secularized, its interests have been blurred with those of the culture. The result is a loss of absolute values, permissive individualism, and a substitution of wholeness for holiness, recovery for repentance, intuition for truth, feeling for belief, chance for providence, and immediate gratification for enduring hope. Christ and his cross have moved from the center of our vision.

Thesis Two: Solus Christus
We reaffirm that our salvation is accomplished by the mediatorial work of the historical Christ alone. His sinless life and substitutionary atonement alone are sufficient for our justification and reconciliation to the Father.We deny that the gospel is preached if Christ's substitutionary work is not declared and faith in Christ and his work is not solicited.
