The battle cry of the United States Marines is "Semper Fidelis". Defined, this means "Forever Faithful". If you have ever met a Marine, you are well aware that they are a different breed. Their standard of conduct, their dress code and their readiness to protect the homeland places them shoulders above the rest. They have vowed to die if need be!
Our battle cry here at Semper Reformanda is much like the cry of the Marines; "Forever Faithfully Reforming". We will die for the cause if need be. Martin Luther said it best when he was questioned before the Diet of Worms.
Luther said, "Your Imperial Majesty and Your Lordships demand a simple answer. Here it is, plain and unvarnished. Unless I am convicted [convinced] of error by the testimony of Scripture or (since I put no trust in the unsupported authority of Pope or councils, since it is plain that they have often erred and often contradicted themselves) by manifest reasoning, I stand convicted [convinced] by the Scriptures to which I have appealed, and my conscience is taken captive by God's word, I cannot and will not recant anything, for to act against our conscience is neither safe for us, nor open to us. On this I take my stand. I can do no other. God help me."
Our conscience is held captive by the Holy Word of God. We have no choice; there is no turning back and no compromise. Much like Christian Fletcher in "Mutiny on the Bounty", after finding the beautiful land of Tahiti, they burnt the ships so that they were not even tempted to get back on board and head back to England. We Christians have found the beautiful city of God and like the crew of the Bounty, We must burn the ships, there is no turning back. The modus operandi of Semper Reformanda is to faithfully endeavor to reform the Church of Christ to the Holy Word of God. In this age of relativism, easy believism, and universalism, we have vowed to rightfully reject all things contrary to the word of God and plant our flag in protest.
~We pray that your time here is profitable to your soul.~
Eph 1:17, " That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: Eph 1:18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints..."
Eph 1:19, "And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power."
Holding to the London Baptist Confession of Faith of 1689.

Ring of Reformed Sites This community promotes the Reformed Faith. When the church drifted from the truth of scripture in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, men were called by God to shed light on error, and call the church back to true faith. The Community of Reformed Sites is a collection of websites, dedicated to holding on to the Reformed Faith, as expressed in the scriptures, subordinately expressed in reformed confessions and creeds, and in the doctrinal system of Calvinism. There would be no such thing as a Reformed church today if God had not sent the great Reformation. But the Reformation was not only a mighty work that came from God; it was also effected through men. That it was God's work did not make their work easy. It was the Reformers, therefore, who taught us to understand that the work of reforming the church is not finished. They said, "Ecclesia reformata semper reformanda est" which means "the church that is Reformed is always reforming."
