Today is Reformation Day. Here at Metro we identify as a Reformed-Charismatic church, and as we celebrate the significance of an event that took place 500 years ago, we want to take a time to meditate on what it means to be reformed. In a follow-up post, we will explore what it means to be Charismatic. The study of theology and doctrine is considered by many to be boring,...

How can I make a difference? I love this question. It's a question that is loaded with ownership.
