understanding culture dominion
I was deepening my understanding of what we call the cultural commission, the command to take dominion and bring righteousness to our culture.
exercise political culture
Our culture has forgotten what the Founders knew: The American experiment is a moral, not just a political, exercise.
christian culture individual
Christians are called to redeem entire cultures, not just individuals.
culture
Culture is religion incarnate.
caring community culture
Frontline love. It is our one hope for breaking down barriers and for restoring the sense of community, of caring for one another, that our decadent, impersonalized culture has sucked out of us.
christian believe church
I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.
christian jesus church
The church is the only institution supernaturally endowed by God. It is the one institution of which Jesus promised that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
stories next firsts
The first 20 stories written about a public figure set the tone for the next 2,000 and it is almost impossible to reverse it.
grandmother walks my-own
I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon.
real giving justice
It would take a God with equal measures of truth, love, and justice to [give us a metanarrative]. Since I had abandoned that faith in God and considered myself secular, that wasn't a real option for me.
eye past self
Repentance is replete with radical implications for a fundamental change of mind not only turns us from the sinful past, but also transforms our life plan, ethics, and actions as we begin to see the world through God's eyes rather than ours. That kind of transformation requires the ultimate surrender of self.
people church doe
The church does not draw people in; it sends them out.
order people changed
Some say society must change in order to change people. No, people must be changed in order to change society.
christian atheist jobs
It's no understatement that the church has done a poor job in teaching our young people that reason and faith are not opposites, and that atheists are far from being on the side of reason. You can find on our website a chart which I use to demonstrate the various worldviews work out, and which one, Christianity, is rational. Many kids, however, who grow up huddled in a Christian environment find themselves in the university setting completely unequipped to defend the rationality of the Christian faith against the secular humanist worldview so prevalent on college campuses.
