How the Church Drifts: When Sin Is Redefined


Listen Later

In this episode of Contending for the Word, Dave Jenkins continues the March series, Clarity in a Confused Age: How the Church Drifts and How Christians Stay Anchored, by addressing a critical issue facing the modern church: the redefinition of sin. Rather than denying sin outright, many churches soften biblical language, replace moral categories with therapeutic terms, and blur the meaning of repentance and holiness. But when sin becomes unclear, grace becomes unclear, repentance is minimized, and assurance is weakened. Dave explains how doctrinal and moral drift often develops gradually through cultural, institutional, and emotional pressures, why "almost right" teaching is often more dangerous than obvious error, and how this confusion affects ordinary believers in the pew. Most importantly, this episode shows how Christians can remain anchored through the clarity, authority, and sufficiency of God's Word. This episode calls believers to thoughtful discernment, humble faithfulness, and confidence in Christ as the unchanging anchor for His people in a confused age.
