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.
backyards culture ordinary
If our culture is to be transformed, it will happen from the bottom up - from ordinary believers practicing apologetics over the backyard fence or around the barbecue grill.
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.
church culture missions
Redeeming culture is the never ending mission of the church.
ended learn people perjury
For years in Washington, they've all ended the same way - perjury and obstruction of justice. I don't know why people don't learn this lesson.
jobs church world
The church's job is to equip the saints for works of service in the world.

I do not believe one can experience conversion or the fullness of the Christian life apart from the church.

christian children people
Christians need to take the lead in educating people that children are gifts, as my autistic grandson most surely is. By going down the path we're currently on, we might one day get rid of genetic diseases, but only at the cost of our own humanity.
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.
