The Bible and Our Culture

Modern Christianity v. Biblical Christianity

When we believe something about morals or spirituality, we must first ask, "What does the Bible say?"
How should we respond when/if we think we see a contradiction in the Bible.

A Biblical Church

Too many Christians today don't want to be a biblical church.
Too many Christians want to be a contemporary church.

A Relational Church

We can only take people to heaven with us.
Relationships hurt but they are worth it.
Those with God confidence live relationally.

A Simple Church

Keep It Simple Saints
The challenges of remaining simple like Jesus taught

Election Principles

Why a biblical worldview favors small government.
John Jay declared the USA is a Christian nation with a responsibility to keep it as such.
How to win America for Jesus: repent. 

Judge Rightly

1Corinthians is consistent that we must let God judge, but echo His judgments as we "judge" righteously.
We must aspire to be good at Judging.

"Judge Not"....in context.

The gospel of John is consistent that Jesus didn't judge but simply re-stated the Father's judgments.
Judge righteously.  Get good at it!  We have to do so.  

We are bait--sent out as sheep among wolves!

Lambs don't consider defending themselves.  Our only the Shepard is our defense.
The harvest is so ripe, it's rotting. 
Much of the dysfunction in our society today is because of a rotting harvest!
If you don't act like you know Jesus, Jesus will return the favor before the Heavenly Father (Mt.10:33).
It's not difficult to have a conversation about the after life that will naturally lead to talking about Jesus.  Practical steps on how to have a conversation about Jesus!

Shake off the dust

Don't doubt the power of your testimony!
Shake of the dust from your feat against those who resist the message.
Don't concern yourself with doing it "wrong" but concern yourself with doing it. 

Win the battle at home before taking on national demons.

Gideon had to confront the temptations we face.
What did the false gods, Baal and Asherah, promise to tempt people into worshipping them?
We are an over-sexed society.
