To make all men see….. Ephesians 3:9

Society

Society today believes that there is no real truth: that all truth is subjective to the individual. As nonsensical as this seems, and as easily refuted as that philosophy is, it is still growing wide consensus in the progressive universities of American.

Homosexuality is one of the lifestyles that is beginning to be widely accepted in Christian churches today. Andy Stanley’s approach is one that is being used to stealthily to embrace more and more aspects of our sin nature.

This approach is neither scriptural nor a part of scriptural truth. 

Society (11) – The Solution to Sin

As we’ve gone through this series, we have looked at the difficulty many churches today face concerning how they should deal with certain sins. While some subtly or openly accept them, others treat them as unforgivable – or at least those who practice them as pariahs. But God has always treated sin with grace and truth. The truth part is that sin…

Society (10) – Are Some Sins Okay?

Many Christian churches seem to be moving in different directions on many sins. While some churches seem to be following society, condoning political correct sins, other churches treat those same sins as though they are worse than any other. The churches that condone these sins, sometimes in a subtle way and sometimes outright, claim that these transgressions are different because it is…

Society (9a) – Dispensational Sin

Sin has always been sin. Even before there was a law, sin resulted from moving away from God. Paul lists sins four different places that have four dispensational meanings. He lists pretty much the same sins in each place. Romans one is sin before the law, which gives us an idea of how an ungoverned society without God ends up. The next…

Society (9) – Convince, Convict, Coerce, Control

As Christian churches try to straddle the fence on the subject of LGBTQetc., they create contradictions that must be ignored. Unfortunately, what they do is ignore the Word of God and not the pressures of society. Andy Stanley exemplifies this in his defense of his conference to help parents of gay children. While Andy says things that are right, he continually contradicts…

Society (8) – Humility

The opposite of pride is humility. Society today celebrates pride and looks at humility as weakness. Scripture exalts those who are humble and brings low the haughtiness of men. Pride worships the creature more than the Creator. Yet the Creator humbled Himself and took on the shame and sin debt of mankind. We are told to have the mind of Christ in…

Society (7) – Shame

Shame is thought of as a bad thing. It is something that one should feel about who one is outside of Christ. But shame is often what leads to humility. As we are all born sinners, should we not feel shame about being sinners? That shame leads us to the humility necessary to recognize our need for a Savior. God continually brought…

Society (6) – Is Pride Ever a Good Thing?

There is a lot of celebrations of pride in this and that going on today in our society. Even churches are jumping on the band wagon. Some are now saying that although ‘social justice’ type pride is bad, celebrating who you are is good. Because, after all, didn’t God make us? Would He want some groups to be oppressed? Doesn’t God love…

Society (4) – Celebrating Sin

Adam and Eve fell because of pride. Lucifer fell because of pride. Pride is first on the list of sins that God hates. Today pride is celebrated, and not just pride, but pride in sinful behavior. Out of 365 days of the year, America officially celebrates perversity and sin 145 days. Mothers and fathers, the core of the family, are each given…
