Short Take #2: How Should the Church Respond to Cultural Opposition?

Here is another short take Christian worldview with Dave and we can him with us today on the Christian worldview, the founder and president of answers in Genesis, you mentioned the church in your last answer can about the church's response to what's going on what should the response be by the church with regards to meeting these this opposition today.

The bottom line is the church line is a big mess out there and there's a little lukewarm churches and really what is happened, I think, is that in this particular era and I keep I keep hopping on this, but we got a look at what happened in this era something began to happen in the 1800s, and I would call this era from the 1800s to the present. We are now looking at the logical consequence of what started to happen and that was in the 1800s the atheists who didn't believe the Bible and don't believe in God's word. He wanted to explain everything by natural processes so they said the fossil record was light out of the millions he is going to understand the idea of millions years and Martin will came out of naturalism.

The religion of atheism and said then what happened was her Christian leaders and said I will take the millions he isn't putting a gap between Genesis 1112, and so the gap theory.

All will put in the days of creation.

The day age theory long comes down will take down and say God used evolution and the Big Bang. I will say God use the Big Bang and right through the churches today are Christian colleges and Bible colleges release different positions on Genesis. Why is that relevant. While this is being happening critically since the 1800s, and much of the church has abandoned teaching Genesis 1 to 11 Genesis 1 to 11 is the foundation for marriage agenda for UA close for the gospel.

In fact, it's the foundation for every doctrine.

It's a foundation for the rest of the Bible.

It's a foundation for your whole worldview. If you think back to Genesis chapter 3 when the devil came to even say, did God really say the apostle Paul in second Corinthians 11 three says the way the devil is going to use the same method on us as he did on the ticket is the position of not believing the things of God. What was a mentor used the Genesis tree attack was to create doubt in regard to the word of God. In other words, is always going to be an attack on the word of God and what's happened in this era is that much of the churches succumb to the attack on Genesis 1 to 11 abandon that as most of the concern church times are going to the public schools and tort and idealistic view now because I ripped the veneer of Christianity out and it's basically just atheism and LGBT worldview and Marxism.

Critical race theory all that.

So the stop is forced on them. They come to church is a lot of churches responded by saying let's have a lot more music and let's have more entertainment and trust in Jesus and you know touchy-feely stuff. We haven't taken the stand we should've on God's word. From the beginning told them a truly Christian worldview equipped them with answers apologetics to defend the Christian faith, and much of the church has not also been tort to understand is no neutrality you know people have the idea today that all if you not a Christian you neutral. The Bible says the heart of man is deceitful above all things it and desperately wicked. We depraved as human beings we are sinful people and we got this idea that all if you do believe in God do not religiously like the SF arbitrarily said no. If you believe in God and go to church, is religion and I do believe in God.

That's not religion that's not true. Everyone has a worldview. Everyone has a religion and I think in even trying to deal with these issues like abortion and gay marriage and the gender issues and and racism and so on. Many Christians have the idea if I bring up the Bible that means on religious and bias are knocking to bring up the Bible and try to deal with these. Another way the problem is if you don't stand on God's word is the foundation for your worldview. You really lost the battle and and so I believe there's been a great lack of training in our churches to stain on God's word. From the beginning to have a truly Christian worldview be equipped to defend the Christian faith of much of the church has resorted to a lot of entertainment and music.

August features in the church is nice. I see the outspoken in all 50 states in America spoken hundreds of churches and I see the patent is one of the patents is decreasing teaching of the word of God increase music entertainment from the front, but they're not teaching apologetics and not teaching foundations they not teaching Christian worldview, which is what we do, that answers in Genesis, really, I can counter the creation Museum throughout curricular and so on. And as a result, we have a look at generations who started to realize the younger generations.

The Bible is not true.

In Genesis, I can meet you anywhere else. I'm not getting answers to my questions. Can you really trust Christianity. I mean how could be loving God with all the death and suffering in the world has a size disprove the Bible. And as those generations have then left the church and church attendance for the younger generations is down about 11%. Where is for the older generations. You know those born before 1928, 56% of them went to church and so down through the ages we've seen this generational loss from the church so we have to ask ourselves how has the church filed in that way now don't get me wrong there are thousands of churches that use answers in Genesis material, but their minority and the majority of churches.

The majority that Christian colleges and seminaries have been away, paving the way for this change that has occurred because they have allowed generations to be captured by the world and try to add some soda Christian ideas into their thinking instead of taking a stand on God's word. From the beginning to raise them up as we should have sold to be up to.

This is been a short take? Be with David.
