Application:

 

 

150,000 people per day are stepping off into eternity and a huge percentage of that 150,000 are not stepping off into heaven but into eternal judgment.

 

I am certain that many of those who are stepping of into eternal judgment are shocked when they realize where they are. For you see, they thought they lived a good life as defined by today’s standards. Many of them went to church, perhaps even walked the aisle and got baptized, some even taught Sunday school.

 

Jesus Himself told us this would be so: In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus said:

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’”

 

What must we do to stem the tide of false converts?

Genesis:   Key to Reclaiming the culture

Ken Ham






  1. What is the foundational cause for the secularization of the culture?





  2. Genesis and the Gay Marriage issue





  3. How to build a consistent Christian Worldview





  4. How to reclaim today’s secularized culture for Christ






Most people have the erroneous idea that the Bible is just a book of religion, morality or salvation.  But the Bible is also a book of history, and it deals with the ‘big picture’ aspects of every area of reality, including geology, astronomy, biology, anthropology, physics, chemistry and so on.

The key to developing a Christian worldview is to use the Bible’s history, encompassing geology, astronomy, biology, etc., as a pair of ‘biblical glasses.’  The Bible’s history can be used to connect the past to the present, and thus enables us to correctly interpret the scientific evidence of the present. 

We can then use observational science to confirm this biblical interpretation.  This same foundation of history is also foundational to understanding the gospel, Christian morality, etc.
