As Christians, our duty is to Christ alone. But as humans living in a civil government what is our responsibility to participate? In other words, does the Bible permit Christians to be passive in our civic duties or does it call us to engage? 

In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge examines several biblical principles in an effort to present helpful answers to these important questions.

Part 4: How God Gradually Saves the World

In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge discusses how the gospel doesn’t only shape spiritual matters, but also societal matters.

Part 3: How the Gospel Ought to Shape Society

Welcome to part 2 of our discussion on The Paralysis of Pessimistic Eschatology. In this episode, we explore the fascinating realm of architecture, drawing a captivating parallel between the monumental cathedrals of the past, constructed over centuries for the greater good, and the contemporary trend of investing only a fraction of that time in building churches. Consider, for a moment, the mindset required to initiate a project that your great-great-great-grandchildren might witness completed. It's a testament to kingdom thinking and a reflection on what it means to contribute to something enduring for the greater good, beyond our immediate influence. Join us as we unravel the significance of these majestic cathedrals as pieces of architecture that communicate far beyond their physical structure.

Part 2: The Paralysis of Pessimistic Eschatology

In today's episode, we embark on a series exploring the dichotomy between pessimistic eschatology and optimistic eschatology. Let's clarify that when we use the term "pessimistic eschatology," it's an academic expression rather than a judgment on individuals as pessimists. This perspective centers on the belief in a progressive moral decline, positing that the world will deteriorate morally over time. It's not an indictment of those with a negative outlook; it's an exploration of theological viewpoints. Additionally, we'll be discussing the concept of Dominion, drawing from the Genesis 1:28 Dominion mandate: "Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves on the earth." Join us as we navigate these nuanced topics in today's episode.
