BOA Intro Question: I’ve heard many sources say that the younger generations of today are particularly concerned, stressed and anxious about the world and the culture around them.
What issues in the culture around you, are you or your peers particularly concerned about?
BOA synopsis: in this video Dr. Michael Brown is asking “Is it too late for America” spiritually and culturally, and are we “past the point of no return”? “Are we desperate enough for revival”?
BOA summary: Yes it’s tough and post-Christian out there, and there are many new questions and challenges that were not even thought of in recent memory. e.g. What is a woman?
That said, there have been many wars, cultural upheavals, moral depravities, political overthrows, religious shifts, etc, throughout time. What are we as Christians to do. We are to:
- Fight the good fight of the faith. 1 Timothy 6:12
- “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone” 1 Peter 3:15
- “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God” 2 Corinthians 10:5
- Keep proclaiming the gospel
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ESV
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, - Continue to care for, and pray for the lost
- Continue to pray for revival
- What other calls to action would you recommend?
