In this episode of the Embracing Brokenness podcast, hosts Steve and Colleen Adams explore the themes surrounding the Tower of Babel, the spiritual forces at play, and the implications of a biblical worldview in today's society. They discuss the cultural mandate given by God, the nature of evil as represented by the Nephilim, and the modern parallels to the Tower of Babel in the context of globalization and technology. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding spiritual influences, the rise of a one world religion, and the consolidation of power in contemporary society. Ultimately, they call on believers to be truth tellers and to remain steadfast in their faith amidst the challenges of the modern world.

Here's a summary of its key points:Relevance of Politics to Christianity: The article posits that politics, understood as the art of structuring society for the common good, is inherently linked to Christian values. It's not just about governance but about how society lives out shared life in accordance with divine principles.Historical and Theological Context: Drawing from Reformed political thought, particularly Johannes Althusius, it highlights that politics has always been part of human organization aimed at establishing social life in a manner reflective of God's order.The Church's Role: The church is seen as having not only the right but also the duty to address political issues because these issues concern justice, neighborly love, and the good life, which are central to Christian teaching. Ignoring these would be failing in the church's mission to be fully alive in all societal aspects.Critique of Political Neutrality: The text critiques the idea of the church floating above earthly affairs, suggesting that such a stance might lead to societal moral decline. It points out that avoiding political issues can be seen as neglecting the church's responsibility towards justice and societal well-being.Engagement Without Partisanship: While advocating for engagement, the article warns against the church becoming a mouthpiece for any political party or ideology. The focus should be on principles derived from scripture rather than party lines or specific legislation details.Cultural Mandate and the Church's Mission: The church's mission is not just spiritual but also involves engaging with the world in ways that reflect God's kingdom, which includes speaking into the political domain without necessarily endorsing particular policies or parties.Implications for Church and Society: If the church fails to engage with politics, societies might continue a downward moral spiral. The article implies a call to a more active, principled, yet non-partisan engagement with political life, where the church acts as a moral guide rather than a political actor.This article essentially calls for a balanced approach where the church engages with politics not for power or to dictate specific policies but to influence society towards justice, righteousness, and the common good, reflecting Christian values in the political sphere.Support the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
In this episode we're joined by Rev. Dr. N. Gray Sutanto, who is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary in Washington, DC, and the author or editor of several books on Neo-Calvinism and the theology of the Dutch theologian Herman Bavinck, including translating into English some of his previously untranslated works. Over the course of our conversation we talk about education, politics, and other elements related to the cultural mandate and the application of Reformed thought to culture.

EP 132 | Is Timothy Keller's Theology Safe? w/ Dr. Peter Naylor | Redeeming Truth Peter Naylor takes on famous pastor/author Tim Keller's view that Scripture mandates churches pursue BOTH gospel ministry AND social change. While individual Christians should love neighbors and "do justice", Naylor finds no New Testament pattern of churches mobilizing to remedy political issues. This podcast warns that the trendy "social justice gospel" risks watering down the faith, draining resources from the Great Commission.

We're back with a brand-new season of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation! Joe, Nate, and Ryan discuss the recently published Frankfurt Declaration of Christian and Civil Liberties, and the relationship of the Cultural Mandate and Great Commission. In its most basic formulation, we tend to see Christians desiring to conform to culture or to escape culture, though the biblical calling is for God's saints to transform and build culture. Read and consider signing the Frankfurt Declaration. Get the new book, Failed Church, at Ezra Press.
