The Creational OS and Knowing God’s Will for Your Life

What is a Christian worldview, and what is its primary competitor in the Western world today?

Christian Worldview or Cultural Marxism?

The protology and eschatology of the Bible include promises of the advancement and victory of Christ‘s kingdom before the final, perfected eternal state. We must live as victorious people — because we are.

The Case for Pre-Consummate Christian Victory

The Bible festers with God’s promises to his people, and living consistently in those promises means living in consistent hope and victory.

Our Promissory God

Creation is the backdrop and prerequisite of our Lord’s redemptive work, and to bypass creation is eventually to overturn the gospel.

To Live Christianly Is to Live Creationally

The optimal time to trust Christ and serve God is childhood and youth, not middle and old age. God‘s preventive grace is greater than his recovering and grace, and the apex testimony of God‘s work in the world is children and young people serving him with unremitting zeal.

Remember Your Creator in the Days of Your Youth

Salvation is much bigger than most Christians suppose. Unless we see salvation (as Paul does in Ephesians) in its personal, corporate, and cosmic dimensions, our view will be impoverished.

To live in an atmosphere of prayers to live in constant expectation for God to do both small and mighty things. To live in this atmosphere of prayer is to live a transformed, victorious life.

The family is a part of the creational OS. The blinding assaults against it in postmodern culture (socially constructed sexuality, homosexuality, gender reassignment surgery, and so on) are assaults on reality itself.

Widespread biblical law presupposes a Christian culture and society, and that culture and society will inevitably lead to biblical law.

Jesus is the meaning of human life — and there is no other meaning.

The Logos is the Meaning

By stressing redemption to the relative neglect of creation, evangelicalism contributed to the present climate of sexual chaos. Only by a return to the sequence of the Bible's story line can we begin properly to combat that modern autonomy.

Creation Lost and Regained

A residue of the ancient evil heresy survives today in a church embarrassed by or opposed to God's created order.

Gnosticism Goes to Church

We can't be Christlike if we don't know what Christ was really like.

Christlike Love and Hatred

God's program is bigger than saving sinners.

Common Grace

Classical Marxism (dialectical materialism and state socialism) and Cultural Marxism (human liberation and identity politics) are the greatest ideological threats to Christian culture.

Classical and Cultural Marxism

The Health and Wealth Heresy is rivaled today by the Sick and Poor Heresy, the spuriously pious idea that robs God of his glory and tramples his promises by assuming that illness and poverty are the expected common lot of his faithful, world-conquering saints,  and that we should never pray in faith, expecting deliverance.

The Sick and Poor Heresy

We live amid a youthful generation marked by folly, but God has the solution to that problem.

God's Wisdom for Contemporary Youth

Gnosticism is the most dangerous and recurrent  heresy in Christian history. It increasingly corrupts both modern church and culture. The cure is Creational Christianity, which has been tragically missing in the modern church.

Modern Gnosticism Versus Creational Christianity

Conventionally conservative groups like the Southern Baptist Convention have tried to champion Critical Theory, the analytical tool of Cultural Marxism devised by the Frankfurt School of the Weimar Republic and transplanted to the United States by men like John Dewey. This podcast is a simplified explanation of Critical Theory and a brief critique, showing that it is contra-biblical, self-refuting, and culturally destructive. To attempt to maintain it as a critical tool “within a Christian context” is to betray a fundamental misunderstanding of what it actually is.

Like all fathers (but much better), God delights to please his children.

God Is Not an Absentee Father

Christianity was never intended to be limited to "quiet time" or the church or personal evangelism. The vastly successful manmade medieval and Enlightenment project of dividing life into what Francis A. Schaeffer termed the lower story of "the real world" — education, logic, science, law, politics, the arts, economics, for example — and the separate upper story of Christianity is the utter denial of biblical faith.

Beware of Upper Story Religion

The glaring  deficiencies of our wobbly church and apostate culture correspond strikingly to the distinctive contributions of Puritan Christianity. A new Puritan reformation would go along way toward remedying the deep deficiencies in church and culture.

A Puritan Reformation Today

Secularists and pagans say that Christianity is the blight of the Western world. All to the contrary: all of the great blessings they take for granted are bequeath by Jesus Christ, Christianity, and Christendom.

Jesus Christ Molded Western Civilization

Man’s God-appointed work in the world is the Cultural Mandate. God’s self-appointed work in the world is his Kingdom. Understanding these foundational truths is fundamental to the Christian life.

The Black Panther's Epic Fail

God both remembers — and forgets — better than we do.

God Chooses to Forget

It's not enough to avoid the evil surrounding us. God calls us to expose and reprove it.

Rebuking Evil Isn't Optional

Almost all great revival and reformation begins with a revival and reformation of prayer, great, persevering prayer, not prayer that mildly accepts  the status quo as the will of God or hides behind the eternal decrees. If you want great Reformation, start praying.

Direct, unapologetic treatment of controversial topics: Radical sexual autonomy (springing from Enlightenement, Romanticism, and existentialism) versus biblical covenantalism. Homosexualization versus sexual fidelity. Egalitarianism versus Complementarianism. “Sexual identity” (both heterosexual and homosexual) versus  male or female. And the normalization of singlehood and celebacy versus the creational norm of fruitful marriage.
