“Lost” Christians & Evangelicals?

“So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” John 8:36

Mike discusses two articles dealing again with definitions, scriptural definitions. Can or will a person truly converted “leave the faith”? Should not all Christians be evangelical? Do evangelicals have an image problem, or is all this a case of “nothing new under the sun”, and a matter that we should conform to the Word of God instead of the other way around?

Challenges to the Gospel

“And He said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.” Luke 9:23

In this special repeat broadcast from April, 2006, Mike interviews Dr. J. Ligon Duncan, Senior Minister of First Presbyterian Church in Jackson, Mississippi. Mike and Dr. Duncan examine the challenges facing the Gospel and the church today such as “easy-believism”, liberalism, and the very definition of the Gospel. Then Dr. Duncan exhorts us to always seek what the Bible tells us about what the church should be and do, not what the culture demands, but what the Word of God requires.

Theology 101-Worldviews, Being Cultural Aware

What is the importance of cultural awareness in regards to a proper Biblical worldview? What does it mean to be a “witness” to Christ? In this installment of Theology 101, Mike and Scott Reiber examine how that every Christian is a missionary, and that every Christian should be a “thinking Christian”.  

 

  

How do we respond to culture, or do we?

When considering our response to the cultures of today, what should our strategy as Christians be? Should we recoil and retreat into our spiritual caves, or should we be Bereans, studying to show ourselves approved, and confront the culture in love, compassion, mercy, but with the absolute Truth of God’s Word. In this program Mike shares that we should and must respond with the Gospel to a lost and dying world.
