August 22, 2020#30 - Spheres of Authority Part 2: The FamilyGod has ordained certain spheres of authority for the flourishing and well being of humanity. The major ones today are government, church and family. These have at times overlapping responsibilities. Family is the most essential institution of culture and society.

August 17, 2020#28 - A Path Forward in Racial ReconciliationIf the human flesh still holds propensities toward pride that can manifest itself in racism, is there any hope? Yes. This was a common problem in the New Testament and was always treated with the gospel. In the book of Ephesians Paul lays out a blue print for unity to counter-attack every form of sin. In Christ, we can walk in love as Christ loved the church.Scriptures Referenced: • Ephesians 2:13-18• Ephesians 4:1-7• Ephesians 4:17, 21-23• Ephesians 5:1-2• Matthew 5:21-24...more15minPlay
August 07, 2020#27 - Clarifications on RacismAfter receiving some godly pushback on the issue of racism from episode #3 (listen at https://fbchurch.org/resource/dealing-with-the-inner-racist ), this episode seeks to give some clarification on racism. Racism’s root is indeed pride, but pride does not necessarily produce racism. The sermon on the mount in Matthew 5 gives us the proper logic for addressing the heart issue.Scriptures Referenced: Matthew 5:21-30...more11minPlay
August 06, 2020#26 - Clearing Up the True Gospel and Social Gospel ConfusionThe volume on social justice issues can easily drown out the true gospel. Astute Christians rightly express concerns about drifting to a social gospel. In this episode we define the social gospel and then keep the true gospel and social justice in their proper places. Examples come from Jesus, the Apostles and Paul’s epistles.Scriptures Referenced: • Mark 1:15-39• Acts 6:1-9• Galatians 2:8-10...more11minPlay
August 05, 2020#25 - Priorities and Involvement in Social Justice IssuesWith so many ways we see people suffering in the world, how do I know where to put my time and energy?

July 30, 2020#24 - Biblical Virtue Signaling (John Gardner)What is virtue signaling and how should Christians respond to it? Is there a sense in which virtue signaling can be done in Christian love?

July 25, 2020#23 - Speaking with Moral Authority Part 3The moral authority to speak on social justice issues is not related to a persons position of oppressor or oppressed. It comes from alignment with God’s will revealed in scripture. We can only speak with moral authority when our aim is love and the offer of a better peace and justice.Scriptures Referenced: • 1 Timothy 1:5• Proverbs 3:7-8• Ephesians 4:29• Proverbs 25:11-13• 1 Peter 4:10-11• 1 Timothy 1:14-16...more14minPlay
July 24, 2020#22 - Speaking with Moral Authority Part 2Under the ideology of Intersectionality, only those who are oppressed have the moral authority to speak on issues of social justice. This contradicts the Bible. Anyone can speak with moral authority so long as he/she is in alignment with what God speaks and his/her speech is with wisdom. Multiple proverbs govern our speech, and when we fail to use them we forfeit our moral authority when speaking on social justice issues.Scriptures Referenced: • Proverbs 18:13• Proverbs 18:17• Proverbs 26:17...more11minPlay
