How Christians Should NOT Wage the Culture War

In this episode of "Ask the Bible," Joel Settecase, President of The Think Institute, explores how Christians should engage in today's cultural battles. Despite claims that the culture war is over, Christianity faces increasing hostility, and believers must decide how to respond.

Key Points Discussed:

Is the Culture War Over? While some, like Rod Dreher in The Benedict Option, claim the culture war has ended, Christians continue to face cultural and social opposition.

Lessons from Samson (Judges 21:25): The story of Samson teaches us the dangers of internal conflict. Instead of supporting God's appointed deliverer, the Israelites handed him over to their enemies. Christians today should avoid turning against each other in cultural debates.

A Call to Action:

Paul’s exhortation in 1 Corinthians 16:13 urges believers to “be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.” Christians should unite in defending their beliefs and values.

Why This Matters:

Stand Firm: Christians must remain steadfast in their faith amid cultural challenges.

Unite, Don’t Divide: Believers should support one another rather than engage in "friendly fire."

Be Courageous: In a world that often opposes Christian values, courage and strength are essential.
