Episode Details

These are ignominious years for Western Christianity, as the cultural influence of the church wanes in Australia, the US, and elsewhere. Brief mention is made of the Acts 29 and Hillsong phenomenon. If there were a reformation, what would it look like? How do you sift out empty zeal, useless revivals, and false Jesus’s to find something more substantial? Real reformation does not consist of more schism on minor issues, but substantial unity on substantial, foundational issues (as set against the world). Christ calls the Laodicean church to fervency—but not fervent worship and music—rather, fervent repentance, love for one another, and fervent day-to-day service to God.
