Not to be
outdone by Father, Son and Holy Spirit – DaGod of this world has put together a
cabal designed to advance his faux religion – fairly successfully, I might add.
Temporarily?
Yes, but he sure has his disciples agitated enough to cause great harm to the human
race – God’s creation.
Currently,
our gods are DaState, politics, ‘It’s all about me!’ and, of course, a spirit
of retreat and defeat among God’s believers – and Gary DeMar of American Vision
outlines them all today.
Keeping
the State From Becoming God - The Bible has a lot to say about the balance of
power in God’s created order. The individual has liberty within the confines of
God’s law. The same is true of civil government. It has a governmental role to
play but it’s severely limited.
The
Spirit of Retreat (Among Christians) - Like a trampled
spring and a polluted well
Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.
(Prov. 25:26).
Fighting
the Political Monster as Savior - What are pastors
teaching today? Christian television is mostly pious
mush. Enthusiasm is the attraction of the day. It’s a sugar-rush effect
for the moment. Almost nothing is said about the day-to-day issues that are
affecting people’s lives. The Bible is a big book and it has something to say
about everything either directly or indirectly. Pastors are afraid to address
contemporary issues for fear that people might leave. Many pastors don’t
believe it’s spiritual to apply the Bible beyond individual piety.
Theology for Everyday Life
Being a biblical Christian doesn't
just mean getting our theology straight, it also means getting our living
straight. Christianity can be summarized as being about orthodoxy (what what we
believe) and orthopraxy (how we live what we believe). Getting our theology
worked out is only half of the equation; getting our theology into our everyday
lives is the other half.
