Sam Fornecker and pastor/apologist Andrew Fellows discuss why "worldliness" is so poorly understood, and weakly challenged, in contemporary Christianity. Drawing on Fellows' recent book, Smuggling Jesus back into the Church: How the Church Became Worldly, and What to Do about It (IVP, 2022), as well as his experience in Christian leadership (including 21 years with the English L'Abri, and a period as chairman of L'Abri International from 2011–2016), this episode tackles several forms of worldliness besetting the Church — from the allure of the Modern Trinity ("Me, Myself, and I"), to the pervasive politicizing of the Church, to the erosion of evangelical confidence in the power of prayer and the supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit.

Bible Study Don't just take our word for it . . . take His! We would encourage you to spend time examining the following Scriptures that shaped this sermon: 2 Corinthians 11:19–31, Luke 8:4–15. Sermon Outline The generosity of God and the generously sown Word of God The path and the devouring birds: consider Satan's hatred of the Word of God in the life of the Christian. The rocky soil: consider the foundation of the fleshly Christian's "shallow" spirituality. The bramble-patch: consider the hyper-driven lifestyle of the Christian who distracts herself to death. The good soil: the character of the "good and honest" heart. Sermon Questions Do you believe in a literal, personal being called Satan? Does Jesus? What is Satan's chief method of attacking the Christian? Why might this surprise you? (Compare Luke 8.5 and 8.12.) What do you think makes for a shallow and superficial Christian life? How would you point to evidence for your perspective in this text (Luke 8:4–15)? Identify two or three core values of worldliness. Reflect on ways in which these "worldly" values erode Christian discipleship. Why might otherwise keen Christians find themselves getting stuck at the margins of our common life at St Andrew's? Draw clear connections to Jesus' parable. Read aloud Luke 8:15. Then read aloud Luke 9:23. How does Luke 9:23 help us to see what "bearing fruit with patience" means? Can one be expected to die for something, for which he or she is not willing to live? Select Resources Consulted Michael Wilcock, The Message of Luke (rev.)

Andrew shows readers how secularism has reshaped church culture, changing the way many Christians and churches live and worship without being noticed. Both provocative and practical, he challenges Christians to live with radical Christ-like distinctiveness that requires both reformation by the church and revival by the Holy Spirit.Purchase a copy of Andrew's book here.Listen to and download recent lectures at englishlabri.org/podcast.

Forty years ago Francis Schaeffer urged the church to live up to its calling in order to be ‘fit for purpose’ in a post-Christian world. The core of his message speaks with a relevance and vibrancy the church needs to hear more than ever. In this talk, we explore what ‘Schaeffer’s burdens’ were and why they are applicable today.

Christians don’t have the monopoly on seeing what’s wrong with the world. This talk examines three secular sin labels as a diagnosis of the problem. Each adds something significant to our understanding of why everything is so bent out of shape. While each of these labels are useful they are inadequate to the Bible's better diagnosis. -Andrew Fellows, Director of Christian Heritage Cambridge
