    Summary

    In this conversation, Pastors Kendall Lankford and  @TobyJSumpter  from King's Cross Church in Moscow ID (Also a contributor to the  @CROSSPOLITIC  podcast) discusses post-millennialism and its connection to the mission of the church and masculinity. Pastor Toby explains how post-millennialism is the belief that Christ's work of sanctification will be applied to history, resulting in the gradual transformation of the world. This view sees the mission of the church as not only preaching the gospel but also bringing the knowledge of the Lord to every area of life. Pastor Sumter emphasizes the importance of having a clear eschatological view to restore purpose and mission in the lives of believers, particularly men. The conversation explores the concept of masculinity and the mission of men to provide and protect. It emphasizes the importance of men having a godly burden and taking risks for the kingdom of God.

  • 113: Celebrating Abominating (Pride Month And How We Need The Gospel Now More Than Ever!)

    Description:

    Hello, everyone, and welcome back to the show. In today’s episode, we take a break from our eschatology series to address the current cultural climate, especially as we enter the month widely known for its celebration of Pride. Much like the overlooked yet perilous threat of gum disease, if left unchecked, our society has become toxified by moral decay, beginning with smaller infractions that have escalated into full-blown spiritual and cultural rot.
    Using the analogy of gum disease, we explore how early symptoms of moral deviancy, if left untreated, can lead to catastrophic outcomes. From the inception of the LGBTQ movement to the present-day celebration of what the Bible calls abominations, we draw parallels between untreated gingivitis and the unchecked spread of sin.
    In this episode, we explore:
    The initial stages of moral decay and its progressive nature.
    The Biblical definition and gravity of abominations.
    The cultural shift over the decades and the church’s role.
    The urgent need for radical repentance and a return to Biblical fidelity.
    We conclude by offering the most potent remedy available: the transformative power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Only through repentance and turning back to God can our society hope to find healing and renewal.
    Join us as we confront the uncomfortable truths and seek divine wisdom to navigate these challenging times. Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more content grounded in Biblical truth.

  • 108. BONUS Episode - Answering Objections to Postmillennialism with Martin Selbrede

    Summary

    In this conversation, Kendall and Martin discuss objections to post-millennialism. They cover topics such as the dating of the book of Revelation, the parable of the wheat and tares, and the cyclical nature of the book of Revelation. Martin provides insights into these topics and offers different perspectives on the interpretation of the book of Revelation. In this part of the conversation, Martin Selbrede discusses the concept of victory in the book of Revelation and the idea of the 'little season' between the first and second advent. He also explores the role of the Antichrist, the great apostasy, and the great tribulation in post-millennialism. Selbrede provides insights into the interpretation of key passages in Revelation and highlights the importance of understanding the historical context of these prophecies. He also addresses the biblical perspective on the world going from bad to worse and the promise of peace and transformation in the future. The conversation explores the idea that peace on earth will be brought about by Christ, where there will be no more war and the art of war will not be learned again. Critics argue that post-millennialism opens the door to universalism, but the conversation clarifies that post-millennialism does not imply universalism. The conversation also addresses the astronomical perturbations mentioned in Scripture, explaining that they symbolize political upheavals and the downfall of rulers. The language used is not meant to be taken literally, but rather as a depiction of the destruction of Jerusalem and the regime change happening at that time. In this part of the conversation, Martin Selbrede and Kendall discuss the importance of interpreting scripture according to its literary genre and the significance of understanding the Old Testament in order to grasp the full meaning of the New Testament. They also address the idea of over-realized eschatology and the role of man in the postmillennial view. Selbrede emphasizes the power of the Holy Spirit and the need to read scripture in light of God's sovereignty. They also touch on the topics of denominationalism, the future of the world, and the defeat of Satan. In this final part of the conversation, Martin Selbrede discusses the importance of acknowledging our limitations and relying on God's help in the battle against evil. He emphasizes that biblical post-millennialism is different from the prosperity gospel preached by some, as it focuses on the establishment of God's law and justice. Selbrede also addresses the rise of AI and technology, highlighting the need for ethical considerations and the importance of Christians bringing their worldview to these fields. He recommends several books for further study on post-millennialism.
