Teaching for today

Ranald Macaulay criticises an introverted mentality amongst Christians. He says Christians must focus on absolute truth and evangelism that penetrates into society.

Is there a crisis in the evangelicalism today? How did the church find itself in this state? What can be done about it now? Ranald Macaulay provokes answers to these pressing questions.

In this workshop Ranald Macaulay challenges us to not just look upon our sanctification as a passive thing but to also actively work at it.

With more people than ever studying and involved in Psychology, this is an important and highly relevant subject. In this workshop, psychiatrist Richard Winter expands his earlier lecture (Personal Freedom?).

Even though much of Western culture was built on Christian values, very few seem to be left in the public sector today. Against this backdrop Ranald Macaulay outlines the importance of Christians developing true Christian thinking.19 May 1990

The Father has appointed Christ to be judge of all the world, the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1). What does this teach us about the righteousness and justice of God? How should it affect our evangelism? Though the salvation of believers is secure, will they also be judged? Are there levels of reward in heaven and levels of judgment in hell? What impact should this have on our attitude to godly living?

Do our genes and our environment dictate our lives, or do we actually have personal freedom? Psychiatrist Richard Winter gives a helpful overview of different schools of thinking over the last 100 years before seeking to share the Biblical view of freedom and choice.

Ranald Macaulay introduces this series of lectures and workshops by looking at the foundational subject of what it is to be a Christian.

The Scriptures tell us that after our Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, "...God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything..." (Ephesians 1:22). The total rule of Christ is a present-day reality but not until he returns will everyone acknowledge it (Philippians 2:10). How should the church respond to the present rule of Christ? What impact should this teaching have on the lives of Christians?

What does the Bible mean by 'heaven'? And what will it be for Christian believers to dwell with Christ in the new creation (Revelation 21:3-4)? What will the new earth be like? Are there implications and challenges for our lives and stewardship here and now?
