Serving Christ in a Post-Christian Culture

From the Show

What should the church do about living in a Post-Christian culture?

Enough of the handwringing. A lot of our churches just watch the news every day and then come to the pulpit with handwringing- ‘oh, it’s just horrible, everything’s going downhill, and we’ve got to save America, etc.’ That isn’t the church’s job. The church’s job is to proclaim the gospel. That is the purpose of the church, to be a loving, caring fellowship. We don’t point our fingers outside of the church to all the evils of non-Christians, but we actually correct those of us in our own midst. When the world sees that, not a bunch of people bellyaching, they will see the closest thing they will come to in terms of the Kingdom of God. — Michael Horton

How Should Believers Respond to Claims About ‘AI Welfare’?

In a humorous moment in the movie Fiddler on the Roof, the main character, Tevye, looks into the camera and remarks, “You may ask, how did this tradition get started? I’ll tell you—I don’t know! But it’s a tradition.” This sets the scene for the movie’s story of Tevye adapting to the changing world around him […]

Was Slavery in the Bible the Same as American Slavery?

Despite the fact that God allowed for slavery, embedded in the Scripture is a sobering rebuke of the institution, as well as an anthropology that teaches that all people are made in God’s image.
