Reformed Saints

One fear I have for the American “Reformed” movement and even more for the Traditional Reformed is their view of the reform fathers. Let me explain so that you understand in a few words. most of us love John Calvin, we enjoy Jonathan Edwards, and just fall in love with Charles Spurgeon’s humor. But there is no doubt from my personal experience and time in the reformed movement that sometimes WE place the “fathers of the faith” to a status that can become untouchable. Reformed individuals can often lift the reformed fathers to almost saint status like that of Catholics. Often times it can easily become as if we quote men of the Reformed faith more then we find ourselves quoting Christ, or the Scriptures. This is only a friendly reminder for those of you who may love reading, enjoy writing, preachers, and teachers of the gospel to remember the many men that stood for the faith of Christendom stood so that you may enjoy the Words of Christ and merely continue to quote Luther and Burroughs. Do not get me wrong, I at times even quote a person, use one for example, but as followers of Christ, just remember that there is none that are in comparison to Christ, and none that even begin to come near, (like that of RCC-saints).
