The apostle Paul closes his discussion of Israel, the Gentiles and the gospel in Romans 9-11 by exclaiming, “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!” Then he adds, “For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be the glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:33, 36).
No words better capture the essence of this year’s Reformation Conference theme, Soli Deo Gloria – to God be the glory. Nor is any theme itself closer to the heart of the Reformation as an event than this.
Emerging as it did out of a religious world in the grips of a degraded papacy, arrogant church claims to infallibility, superstitious belief in the surplus merits of saints and in the grace-conferring power of sacraments, the Reformation restored the glory of God to its proper place. It reasserted that the gospel was from him, and through him, and to him, and that he alone was worthy of the praise of angels and men.
The dominant context of religious life in our times might be vastly different from what it was for Luther in the 16th century. But it has the same man-centered and man-glorifying tendencies. The celebration of the 500th anniversary of Luther’s courageous 95 Theses provides a welcome opportunity to remind ourselves that all the praise and glory for our salvation belongs to God.

Dr Andrew W. Young is the Keynote Speaker for the Reformation Conference 2017. He is the founding Principal of Grace Theological College, New Zealand, and author of a commentary on 1 & 2 Thessalonians in the 'Let's Study' series published by Banner of Truth. Dr Young has ministered in churches in Australia and New Zealand. He is currently acting as Stated Supply (Temporary Pastor) for Redeemer Grace Presbyterian Church in Auckland and continues to serve as Principal Emeritus of Grace Theological College. Dr Young and his late wife, Nola, shared a passion to know and experience God in their lives and ministries and to assist others to do so as well. Dr Young seeks to do that now as Director of Ezra Ministry, a research, writing, and teaching ministry where the goal is to nurture theologically-grounded, spiritually-alive, and practically-oriented Christians.
Pastor Mark Chen was raised in a church going family, and came to faith at a young age. After a short stint working as a counselor, he entered into full-time Christian ministry. He has a keen interest in Historical Theology, having studied the same at Westminster Theological Seminary; and enjoys teaching the principles of Reformed Worship and its simple and devotional application in praise. He has been ministering at Covenant Bible-Presbyterian Church in Perth since 2012. He is married to Min, whom he met in youth group. They have two boys, Nathan, Corban, and a girl, Shya.
Pastor Chong Nam Tuck is the Pastor of First Evangelical Reformed Church (FERC). He preaches in both the English and Mandarin worship services. Prior to being called to the Ministry in 2011, he was ordained as a Deacon and an Elder in 1994 and 1996 respectively. Pastor Nam Tuck enjoys ministering to the elderly and the young people (and everyone in between) in FERC. He particularly enjoys preaching about Christ and His power to change the lives of His people. Pastor Nam Tuck also strongly believes that the worship of God extends beyond worship services in church and should rightly permeate every aspect of a Christian’s life. As part of this, he actively supports FERC’s focus on ‘Family Worship’. Pastor Nam Tuck was trained at the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary. He is married to Lydia and they have a son, Josiah.
