The Bible and Our Culture

Luke 15, the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, the Lost Son.

All humanity was lost and Jesus searches for each soul.

Luke 19:10  for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Fighting the Culture War as a "Joshua" or "Caleb".

The American Church no longer needs to scout out the land.  We already know their is wickedness and corruption everywhere.  

America cannot afford to miss this window of opportunity.  

What does the Bible teach about how to pray for our enemies?  To repent. 

Intercessory prayer includes praying for people to repent.

God looks for co-laborers.  

 

How does God mercy manifest when we have provoked His Judgment?

Intercession in the face of God's judgment, the Church's sacred role.

Does Moses dare try to advise God?

 

We all have giants especially if you are taking ground for the purposes of God. 

When they threaten you, realize, like Caleb, they are your bread! 

Defeating giants are our Daily Bread!

Attitude affects destiny.

Fear and sour attitudes caused the children of Israel to miss their key opportunity.  

How fear and complaining causes failures.

Without a commitment to the Bible a church will turn from its true purpose.

Without a commitment to the Bible America will turn from its true purpose.

The importance of a Biblical Worldview today!

We can't live up to the standards in the Bible in our own strength but we can't explain the standards away.

• Live in God’s Glorious Grace with victory over sin.
• Understand God’s Grace and its relationship to His Law.
• Loving God’s Law does make you at risk of being a Pharisee but actually repels Pharisaicalism in your heart.
• God's Marvelous Purpose for His Law.
