In our continuing expository study of the epistle of Paul to the Philippians, we look at the importance of the definition of terms, changes in language and how that is effecting Bible study and evangelism, and we will see what it means to suffer for Christ's sake.
We cover the first half of the sixth chapter of Daniel and see what leads up to Daniel being cast into the den of lions in the second half of the same chapter. And we will see that Daniel's only "crime" was being faithful to God's commandments.
We include a radio clip from AFR in 2009 which stands out as an example of the consistent and rampant cowardice and sellout on national Christian radio networks, today.
According to many believers, the world just keeps getting worse and worse, it’s like waking up to a nightmare. The depravity surrounding us knows no end. I spoke to one woman who told me – I came here after WWII and I thought I had arrived in heaven. Now I think I’m living in hell. It’s enough that Christians compare their situation to the Babylonian captivity of Israel. They feel powerless. Like a nation domineered in captivity. And like the terrible judgment of God has come down.
I want to counter that perspective. At least for now. At last while we still have time. As citizens of a free country, in fact, we are not powerless and we are not captives. We have everything in our hands, if we wish to live in righteousness and justice, both the political tools we need and the power of the Holy Spirit of God.
This is not North Korea. This is America. I challenge Christians to be bold. To live according to their faith. And to do it together. We have no one to blame but ourselves if we don’t.
