In this episode Stephanie makes the statement that “the everybody wins ideology has no ground”.
We talk about this quote from Dr Stuart Anderson that is found in the End of Churchianity film:
“The church has adjusted our theological stances to follow after the changes in society. The church wanted to be included and so we have constantly incrementally changed our stance on a whole range of social values and issues.
But the end result of that has been that well we might be socially included we are now spiritually excluded. That we are socially relevant but spiritually irrelevant.”
God has set the standard that we are to live by and our responsibility is to maintain that standard. Learn what it means to practice our gifts in community so that we have support and encouragement to learn and grow.
Romans 12: 3 – 13:
3For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; 7if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.Love in Action 9Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
