I long for the day when people stop venerating these iconic documents [Westminster, Heidelberg, etc.] and start using them as they use other historical theological sources. This would be true to our heritage as “Reformed†churches.
If we want to be an enclave of ecclesiastical romantics living in the 17th century, a tribe of irrelevant theologues, then by all means let’s continue to multiply conferences and books on the glory of Westminster. Let’s attack anyone who suggests updates and changes. If, however, we desire to minister to people in our world, we need to stand on the shoulders of our glorious forefathers in the faith and do what they did—preach, write, and formulate answers from the Bible for the people of our generation!

It’ll never happen. So long as people congregate around a particular strain of doctrines, so long as people continue to form new denominations, so long as people find more comfort in their herd than in the unity of the church (that exists whether they believe it or not), there will never be an end to the idolatry. So yeah, scratch that: wait ye the consummation!
