Major Religious Challenges for the Crunch Generation according to Os Guinness: - (2:18) Which faith will replace Marxism in China? - (3:18) Will Islam modernize peacefully in the end? - (4:08) Will the western world sever or recover its roots? Great Transformations: - (5:46) The shift from pyro technology, as is called the engineering of fire, to biotechnology, the engineering of life. - (7:04) The shift from The Industrial Revolution to the Information Revolution. In 1 word, Globalization. - (9:40) The shift from what's called a singular modernity to multiple modernities. Large Global Tasks for the Church: - (11:27) Prepare the global South. (don't repeat some of the West's mistakes) - (13:07) Win back the western world. - (15:19) Contribute to human future. Great Trend in Modernity: - (17:56) The modern world tends to shift us from authority to preference. - (20:03) The modern world tends to shift us from integration to fragmentation. - (21:37) it tends to shift us from a supernatural reality to a secular reality (29:03) _Now I bring this together for lack of time. Put simply, the challenge of your generation is faithfulness, with a confidence in Jesus, that is adventurous in the world through callings_
Spiritual warfare is about confronting IDEAS that are contrary to the Word of God…..confrontation is only effective if the believer “lives out” the Truth, first. That is a very authentic and worshipful “way to live”. Romans 12:1….it “confronts” quietly and forcefully.
The big challenge for the church is climate change. For social matters I think 1Cor.12 is key - it shows how communal life can be enriched by individuality. I'm not convinced by the stuff on authority, 'it was for freedom that Christ set us free'. My conviction is that the spirit can live in any culture - affirming, denying, transforming.

Such an amazing Christian voice. So grateful for him. Amen.
I just saw a Podcast named “The Post-Truth World”. Can you imagine THAT? I think they need to study Einstein’s E=Mc4(?).😊

Maybe everybody will decide to go to their corners and stop trying to control everybody else. ???????

How old are you Evan? Wisdom comes with age…there is hope for you….maybe.
@@rochellecaffee1417 Thanks, feel free to point out my folly. As to your argument: are you saying that everyone older than you agrees with you?
