Secular voices constantly pressure the church to limits its voice to the home, heart, pew and pulpit. But, if the church is not salt and light—if the church does not act as the moral conscience of its community—it is truly good for nothing. (Matt. 5:13). People can find humor, social connections, great music and charitable causes elsewhere. But, what they cannot find elsewhere is an accurate moral compass. Here’s a Biblical explanation of the church’s role as conscience, how the church lost or abdicated that role and how the church can recover it in a post-Christian society.
Key Takeaways:
- The Church role as conscience.
- The Church’s roll over.
- The Church roll-back.
- Why church’s moral abdication is the best explanation for America’s moral state (including a historical explanation of what happened in Hollywood).
- An explanation of the great moral issue of our times, and why the church must recover its role as conscience now.
- Practical ideas for recovering that role.
- Our culture should not “hear crickets”, it should hear Christians.
Fantastic message! Thank you for sharing it. It was very helpful to me personally and I think one of the ways to regain the conscience of our nation is also witnessing and inviting.
Rob, thanks for listening and for your comment! This is an important reminder (about witnessing and inviting), especially as we engage in public life. Though we should speak truth to power, it is critical to remember that real transformation only comes from a relationship with Christ!
