How far will this story run?

I noticed that Al Mohler picked up the discussion noted in my last blog on his blog. He gives more details and a good background.

At least it confirms my blog monitoring is picking up interesting issues.

When I have a chance I'll put on some comments from my time at the Summit Adult Conference two weeks ago, and some of the books I've brought back. I think it all plays a part of our "being in the world, but not of the world." And the balance between understanding what is going on in the world and our culture and yet keeping our priority on God, His Commandments and His Commission....

This brings back one of my favorite passages:

Rom 1:16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." NIV

Also please note we don't want God Justice we want his Mercy and Grace.

Sample comments from Dr. Mohler's site are:

"The last century has seen many churches and denominations embrace the social gospel in some form, trading the Gospel of Christ for a liberal vision of social change, revolution, economic liberation, and, yes, social justice. Liberal Protestantism has largely embraced this agenda as its central message.

The urgency for any faithful Christian is this -- flee any church that for any reason or in any form has abandoned the Gospel of Christ for any other gospel."

....

"And that brings us to the fact that the Bible is absolutely clear that injustice will not exist forever. There is a perfect social order coming, but it is not of this world. The coming of the Kingdom of Christ in its fullness spells the end of injustice and every cause and consequence of human sin. We have much work to do in this world, but true justice will be achieved only by the consummation of God's purposes and the perfection of God's own judgment.

Until then, the church must preach the Gospel, and Christians must live out its implications. We must resist and reject every false gospel and tell sinners of salvation in Christ. And, knowing that God's judgment is coming, we must strive to be on the right side of justice."
