The Evangelical Reformed Movement: A Comeback

August 02, 2010

Continued from Page 2

Hope in God

We don't pretend to know how or if these three tensions will resolve. Certainly we will be disappointed if they rise to the level of splitting the movement. But no movement of God can or should long endure if Christians cannot treat one another with grace. We have been given much; we agree on much; we ought to love much. Above all, we pray God will be pleased to raise up more churches around the world that delight in our great God, proclaim his great gospel, and lift high great David's greater Son, our Lord Jesus Christ by whom all things in heaven and on earth hold together.

Kevin DeYoung is senior pastor at University Reformed Church in East Lansing, Michigan. Collin Hansen is editorial director for The Gospel Coalition. Justin Taylor is vice president of editorial at Crossway Books.
