When Will this Guy Talk About the Important Spiritual Stuff?

Last December, I was really enjoying Kevin Swanson's archives from his Generations show.

As Gary Demar quotes Kenny Rogers "I just stopped in to see what condition my condition was in." This group has developed a test to help people find out whether they have a...

"biblical theism worldview" (bible scholars, Doug Phillips, Rushdoony etc)

"moderate Christian worldview" (this is where I wish most elders & pastors are at, but I wouldn't bet on it)

"secular humanist worldview" (this is where most Christian kids are at, and their parents)

"socialist worldview" (normal college professors are here, I think)

Now this just runs counter-intuitive to the normal christian mindset. The Word promises we will be made like "Him" , and we will! ...... ultimately....but maybe not until after we are dead. What has left the deepest mark on you in this life? What worldviews have you been exposed to the most?

Has knowledge about God and His Word changed you to see life through biblical eyes or are we saved and still operating by mostly humanisistic mindsets. How many areas of life do we see on the same terms as most of the unsaved? Remember, most peoples worldviews are well on their way to being formed by the time they are thirteen.

After you got saved did anyone show you how to critically examine all of lifes presuppositions that you had accumalated during your formative years? Yeah, me neither. Stop and think...what had the most influence on you up to about 13 yrs old. For me it was Govt schooling, my friends,TVand movies. Yes my parents too,but they were in sync with the culture too, so looking back at what really influenced me....

This is a net result of christians reducing Gods work to that of personal revival. Revivalism for our personal life rather than reformation and restoration. If you dont remember the focus of christianity changing,dont feel bad, its been going on for 150yrs.

These guys have tracked the slippage from the last 15 years torwards a more secular worldview. Were talking about in the church.

Oh go give a listen before you have a fit.

We wont go to the Dr. if we dont think were sick.
