About the Standard Bearer:

     For more than 75 years, the Standard Bearer has faithfully and boldly witnessed to the faith of the Protestant Reformation as set forth in the Reformed and Presbyterian creeds. This semi-monthly, 24-page magazine explains and defends Reformed doctrine, teaches the Reformed life of the church and believer, and vigorously combats old and new errors that threaten the Reformed faith and life.  In an age of confusion and compromise, the Standard Bearer is a trumpet giving a clear and certain sound (cf. Ezekiel 33; I Corinthians 14:8).
     Unashamed of the Gospel of salvation by grace alone according to the sovereign will of God, it calls saints to the battles of our time and explores and devlops the riches of the Reformed Faith.   Grounded in sovereign, particular grace and eternal election and reprobation, it explains and defends the doctrines and creeds of the Calvinistic Reformation.
     It upholds the law that regulates the life of holiness, and it promotes Reformed church government, the life-long keeping of marriage vows, and living a God-honoring life in obedience to Biblical principles.  It refutes those who deny the infallibility of Holy Scripture, those who advocate women officebearers, those who proclaim a love and a grace of God for every single man, and those who say that all religions lead to heaven.

About the Special "Reformation Issue":

     "A look at past issues of the Standard Bearer will show that at least since 1990 without fail every October 15 issue has been a special issue devoted to some aspect of the reformation of the church. Most of the issues have treated in depth some aspect of the sixteenth century Reformation. Subjects include "The Reformed Conflict with Rome"; "The Anabaptist Controversy"; "The Reformation and Freedom"; "Reformation and Scripture"; "The Reformation and Worship"; "The Reformation of 1924"; "The Reformation of 1953"; "The Synod of Dordt"; "Abraham Kuyper and the Reformation of 1886"; "The Reformation and the Last Things"; "John Knox"; and "Martin Luther."
     Obviously, these subjects examine, explain, and apply to the Reformed church today many of the most important aspects of the Spirit's great work of reformation. Some organization might consider publishing these special Reformation issues as a separate volume to be a worthwhile venture.
     We add the present issue to the list. The subject of this issue is "The Reformation and a Holy Life." In the issue, we take up the charge that justification by faith alone is a threat to good works, set forth the Reformation's positive interest in good works, and point out several specific areas in which the Reformation restored holiness.
     The Standard Bearer's interest in the Reformation indicates our conviction, not merely that a "Reformed church is always reforming," but that the sixteenth century Reformation was the work of Christ by the unchanging gospel and that Reformed churches in the twenty-first century have the calling to maintain and promote that work of Christ.
     To do this, we must know it."
