By Tim Stephens. Discussions on Christian Nationalism and Theonomy (see previous seminars) have involved asking the question whether these things distract or are even deviations of the gospel. In this seminar, Pastor Tim examines the gospel and the accusation that laboring for righteousness can undermine it. What we see is a beautiful centrality to the gospel and how we ought to live because of it.

This is part four of a seminar series on Christian Nationalism, Theonomy, Postmillenialism, and the Gospel.

By Tim Stephens. Recent discussions on Christian Nationalism and Theonomy (see previous seminars) have often turned to matters of eschatology. It is maintained that eschatology is connected to how one views cultural engagement. Many assume that postmillenialism is the underlying commitment. However, in this seminar, moving past labels, Pastor Tim presents the eschatology of hope presented in the New Testament and in history. As William Carey put it, when we expect great things from God, we attempt great things for God.This is part three of a seminar series on Christian Nationalism, Theonomy, Postmillenialism, and the Gospel.
