Jun. 15, 2016 | The Gospel in the Culture

This is a message from Dr. Anthony George's Wednesday night Bible study. Here's the link to the audio message from FBA's website. My notes are only meant to be a guide to assist in your Bible study. Enjoy! :)
What does the culture say about the Gospel? What does the Gospel say about the culture?
Acts 19:23-27 NASB
  1. The Gospel insists about the authority of God. 
    • No one else can sit in the throne of Sovereignty.
    • Here in Acts, the people in Ephesus are giving the mythical goddess Diana a temple, making her an idol.
    • Ephesus is like the Athenians. Acts 17:21-23
    • These exalt men, and man-crafted things, above God.
    • This all comes down to the Holy Oneness of God, and the authority of His Word.
    • Psalm 138:1-2 NKJV 
  2. The Gospel clashes with worldly cultures.
    • Humans reject God. Therefore, they reject God's law. 
    • They blamed Paul for Acts 19:26
      • Jeremiah 16:20 NASB 
    • WWJD? Was a great question and movement, but which Jesus were you asking about? 
      • Your revised Jesus
      • Culture's Jesus
      • God's Jesus as depicted in the Holy Word
    • It's either God or man: who is on the throne?
    • What is absolute truth? Who determines the rules in a human rule?
      • When we disregard biblical absolute, laws become determined by the shifting whims of a society and their majority. 
      • World leaders, media, entertainment, they drive our society's opinions.
    • The scripture should be our determinant for our rules. 
    • Our nation's founders relied on Biblical truths to create the foundation.
    • We gotta go back to seeing things in black and white; we can't be on the fence on this: things are either of God or not.
