When God Is Silent This is from over fifty years ago but is more true today that ever in the past. A very bold and blunt message about the point of no return.
A Christian culture Prof. Francis Nigel Lee explains that Jesus Christ saves the whole man, not just the soul. Christians should not be satisfied with merely preaching the whole counsel of God. In addition, they must also practice the whole counsel of God. Christ is Lord of all the universe. The culturally-minded Christian is called by God to develop a Christian art, a Christian literature, a Christian philosophy, a Christian educational system, Christian business methods, in fact, a Christian culture.
The Christian cultural task Prof. Francis Nigel Lee explains that Christians are to see it as their destiny to live to God's glory in every field of endeavor here and now, until Jesus comes. Furthermore, Revelation 14:13 assures us that all our earthly labors in the Lord here and now have significance for the next life too, and follow us onto the new Earth.
Sin, sorrow and suffering Prof. Francis Nigel Lee forcefully explains that the plight of man is sin. It took root amongst mankind in the garden of Eden, and it has spread through to every part of man's existence. The consequences of sin are immediate spiritual death, alienation, guilt, corruption, suffering, and depravity. The ultimate consequences are physical death, torment of the soul in hell, and everlasting suffering in the lake of fire.
Essential unity between body and soul As Prof. Francis Nigel Lee teaches, the idea that the body of man is relatively worthless, but that the soul as such is all-important, is Platonic, not Scriptural. Dooyeweerd's idea of the "radical unity" of man is more correct than the trichotomist and dichotomist view of man. Yet even the Dooyeweerdians are obliged to distinguish between what they correctly call "our outward man" (the body) and "the inward man" (the heart) (2 Corinthians 4:16).
Great Sermon! This is Still Relevant- Great Commission- Teach, Baptism and TEACH THEM TO OBSERVE ALL Things! Christ and Culture "If you are consist, you must be the same EVERYWHERE" no 1.accommodationist or 2. isolationist/retreating- What has Athens has to do with Jerusalem? 3. Confrontationist- Light IN Darkness (Biblical Perspective) Broaden our Perspective- Occupy til Christ comes!
Proofs from Ashbel Green's autobiography The last 10 minutes of this lecture shows from a primary historical source how undercurrents anchored on the humanistic ideology driving the French revolution in the eighteenth century negatively infiltrated, tinted and influenced the course and times of the American war of independence. Every American should be aware off of such facts to better understand their present as much as their future.
So Relevant to Today Thank you Dr. Grant for this history lesson. I had heard the general story but the details are amazing. May God grant us the courage of the Scottish Covenanters!
Excellent messages! I’ve been very blessed by this series on prayer, I’ve found them to be challenging & praying it’ll bear fruit in my prayer life, by Gods grace.
Great truths. Good way of reducing things to their essence: to be centered on self or to be centered on other. And to glorify God or to rebel against Him.
Great Sermon! God has again been gracious to those listening to your sermon. What a truth that mediocracy being fatal. May God give us tears for his harvest.
