His answer is, “True strength lies in the vital godliness of the people. The aggregate personal holiness of the members of each church is the only true measure of strength. Any other test offends God, dishonors Christ, grieves the Holy Spirit, and degrades religion.” To put it another way, the strength of any church is the work of the Spirit in conforming its members to the life of Christ. However, Satan’s strategy is to lure us into thinking that our strength lies elsewhere—not in the inward things of the Spirit, but in things that are external and superficial. “One of the schemes of Satan,” Bounds writes, “is to establish a wrong estimate of church strength.” A church is considered strong, he goes on to say, “when its membership is large, when it has social position, financial resources; when ability, learning, and eloquence fill the pulpit, and when the pews are filled by fashion, intelligence, money and influence.”]]> 35 2007-10-01 19:09:50 2007-10-01 19:09:50 closed open who-runs-your-church publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title who runs your church?

Christ against culture What does Jerusalem have to do with Athens? – Tertullian Antagonistic towards culture Sectarianism – Tertullian, Kierkegaard, Anabaptists 2. Christ of culture Jesus gets absorbed in the culture, Classical liberalism (fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man) Accommodation of Christ to culture Gnostics, Sadduccees, Liberation theology 3. Christ above culture – synthesis Instead of antagonism, or accommodation, this one is synthesis. Fundamental issue is the Christ and the world, but between God and humans, World is not cursed, not in opposition to God. Leans towards #2 Thomas Aquinas, Aristotle, faith and reason, relationship between faith and philosophy Leads towards social conservatism and Christ of culture 4. Christ and Culture in PARADOX Instead of synthesis, dualism – two spheres that don’t relate Rejects Christ above culture to synthesis, rules out the transformation of culture, City of God and City of Man, dualism Reinholt, Luther, Apostle Paul 5. Christ the transformer of culture Now but not yet. Do not suffer under the illusion that this world will transform to paradise but are eager to see God’s hand in advancement of science, arts, medicine, etc. Don’t stand on the sidelines and watch, they want to be God’s agents of reform around him. Redemption extends to culture not just individuals. God is king and sovereign over culture John, Calvin, Wesley, Augustine Christians transforms culture, but culture transforms Christians as well. Response Resident Aliens – Hauerwas - #5 collapsing to #2 constantine social strategy, while we are aliens transform this land Alien – Volf – The church doesn’t prop up the government, keeps the integrity of the church in faith, morality. Paradox: one’s best in changing the world, when one’s not of the world. Kuyperian approach – Neo-Calvinists, rediscover Calvin in Dutch theology – Antithesis #5, #4, #1 – antagonism between Christian and non-Christian – common grace, God gave man common grace to live lives… momentary synchronistic]]> 41 2008-01-12 12:19:56 2008-01-12 19:19:56 open open christ-and-culture publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title Christ and Culture American Youth Culture http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=42 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 05:53:56 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=42 This is a list of characteristics made by sociologists about the state of America's youth in relation to religion. This is a helpful resource for youth ministers and those involved in youth ministry. Some of the things they noted on the list is quite surprising. Though, just thinking about the youth these days, just shouldn't surprise me. Religion at large as observed by sociology of religion. 1) U.S. youth are not irreligious or a-religious. They are religious. Religion is a significant presence in many young adults. Most have not drop out of their religious congregations. They are regular participants. Many asserts faith is important in their lives and have influence on their moral views. But they have a hard time articulating their beliefs. Categories they have are influenced by culture.  2) Very few youth are not involved in a spiritual quest. Most teenagers allow the right to others to pursue quest, but very few do it themselves. 3) Teenage religiosity is conventional. They are not rebellious. They are quite content to follow in their parents footsteps. Most youth feel positive about religion. They talk about the positive and benefits to individual and society. When it comes to teenagers and religion, they are happy to go along with the flow. 4) Youth are not religiously diverse. The diversity represented by teens and adults right now is same as it was in prior generations. The vast majority identify themselves as Christians. Most of the non-christians are nominal, non-religious, mormons, Jewish. The world says Americans are vastly diverse in religion, but that is false, we are clearly Christian. 5) Religious vitality and strength When it comes to religious vitality and strength, mormon teenagers appear to have healthy balance of faith and life, then comes conservative protestant youths, mainline protestant teens, catholic, jewish, then non-religious. 6) The greatest influence The single most important social influence on spiritual and religious lives is the parents. Stereotype, we think youth pastor, mentors, culture, grandparents, etc were influential, but it was the parents. This should influence how we do church. Note: You might be the most dynamic influential pastor in the world, but the parents are still the key. The strongest predictor of a child’s spiritual life will mirror what their parents spiritual life looks like. 7) Second greatest influence: Supply side dynamic youth – the greater number of religious programs, relationships, activities, challenges, opportunities- the more vested they will be to remain in religious. When religious communities are not invested in youth, the youth are most likely not going to be invested in their faith. Churches will get back what they invest. What should we do? Pleasantly overwhelm them. 8) Deep religious practice being mimicked. Parrot effect. Unreflective nature - apathy begets apathy. Subjective consciousness level, youth understanding is very weak regarding faith. Most U.S. youth have a very difficult time explaining what they believe, what it means, and its implications. They reflect their parents. If their parents are biblical unreflectiven, that would be mimicked as well. For them religion is important but not a priority. Value but not invested. When preaching or teaching. Repeat things over and over again. People do not listen. Boil everything down to a sentence. And repeat this sentence. Illustrate. Illustrate. Illustrate. Find something to get their attention. Do you want to be a seminary professor or love people? Right exogesis but boring, or getting people attention with illustration with good theology? Jesus preached using parables, after parables. Make the text as alive as possible. 9) The religion of America reflected in the youth: MTD – Moralistic, Therapeutic, Deism. This is the mainstream religious faith of the youth are individualistic, consumer, capitalistic society. Deistic – distant god with minimal involvement, but be moral. Moralism – be good to be happy. Therapeutic – focuses on one’s own subjective happiness. MTD is the religion of the day 10) Cultural and social forces shape their lives Their lives are shaped by cultural and social forces of therapeutic individualism, mass consumerism, digital communication revolution, scientism, structural disconnect with world of adults, and the only connection with adults are adult problems like divorce, 11) Outcome: Religion makes a positive difference. Despite religion is weak in subjective consciousness, most teens can hardly articulate coherent, unfocus background in social life, many cultural forces that try to undermine. Observation that sizable and significant differences in a variety of life outcomes of religious teens in the U.S. Highly religious teens are doing more than non/less-religious teens. Religious life leads to better more constructive life contrary to the secular. Conclusion As adults, we need to look at children not as aliens. We need to look at the generation gaps as superficial differences. Contemporary youth have bought into the mainstream social system. They are well socialized to enjoy the consumerist benefits of U.S. society. Most problems and issues children face are directly linked to adult world problems. They cherish their relationships with the adult-world ties. They don’t need to be segmented out. Religious congregations have a unique role to strengthen ties between adults and teenagers. All need to be involved. Embracing youth. Your investments are not immediate, payoffs are not immediate.

Well, these four things aren't the only things, but they are basic.  If you're not doing any of the following, it's like a plant trying to grow without water or sunlight.  Christians will have a hard time growing without the word, prayer, ministry, or fellowship.  I encourage you if you are discipling anybody or seeking to grow yourself from child to adult... submit yourselves to God and discipline yourselves with the following disciplines.  Let me know what you think.  Did I miss any?]]> 62 2008-04-16 07:58:19 2008-04-16 14:58:19 open open four-things-every-christian-needs publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title Four things every Christian needs Return to the reformed tradition http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=63 Wed, 21 May 2008 14:45:26 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=63 All theology is practical, meaning that unless we apply it, we don't truly grasp the full meaning of what we learned. I'm learning that having a great understanding of the things of God means loving my neighbor as myself, means trusting God when it hurts, means reflecting the glory of God to a dark and sinful world.  Reformed theology is historical Christian tradition.  It is the pure religion that was taught by Jesus, it is the apostolic teaching, it is the teaching of the saints throughout the ages.  It's not that it has changed, it has matured over the ages... it has been refined and focused by the person of Jesus Christ into a sharp laser that points towards that time when we will worship before the throne of God... with Him seated on the throne and high and lifted up... and us laid low by his glory. Oh, what a tradition we have.  Oh, what a great God we serve.  My prayer is that God will continually remind us of his greatness.  Remind us that it is His glory that we see... In times of suffering like that of Myanmar and Chengdu China, it is God who is our refuge and our comfort and our provider and our savior.  Lord that we may remember you.  In times of prosperity, like what we experience here in the U.S. may we not forget our Lord.  May we not forget you.  Help us.  Help us to worship you.  help us to know you and delight in you.  Lord help us!]]> 63 2008-05-21 07:45:26 2008-05-21 14:45:26 open open return-to-the-reformed-tradition publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title Return to the reformed tradition New Reformed Chinese Bookstore http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=64 Wed, 11 Jun 2008 14:15:01 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=64 sinimbooks.  Check it out, buy some books, learn, worship...]]> 64 2008-06-11 07:15:01 2008-06-11 14:15:01 open open new-reformed-chinese-bookstore publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title New Reformed Chinese Bookstore Jesus in China http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=65 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:39:34 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=65 PBS site .]]> 65 2008-06-28 17:39:34 2008-06-29 00:39:34 open open jesus-in-china publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title Jesus in China Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 3 Section 1 http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=66 Sun, 29 Jun 2008 12:15:16 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=66 wise, free, and holy: 1. First, it is WISE because God's decree is in harmony with God’s perfect wisdom. 2. God's decree is FREE because it is not constrained or influenced by anything outside of God’s nature. God ordained whatsoever comes to pass according to the counsel of his will. 3. And God's decree is HOLY in that it is in harmony with his perfect holiness and utterly free of sin. So to summarize God’s decree, it is according to his own holy purposes, guided by his own perfect wisdom, without necessity or influence from outside forces, and all without the possibility of revision. However, when we look at God’s eternal decree, we have to guard against two errors: 1) God’s decree does not make God the author of sin/responsible for sin (even though there is sin in the world, he is not author of sin) and 2) God’s foreordination does not remove man’s responsibility for his own sin. The Bible clearly establishes both truths: God’s foreordination and man’s responsibility. We recognize that God is holy and sin is a violation of God's holy will and his holy character. Fallen man alone is responsible for his sin. And people sin freely out of their own freewill according to their own nature, without any external influences or compulsion (or what the confession calls “second causes”). God’s decree does not violate free will but instead establishes it. The Bible clearly establishes both truths: 1) God’s foreordination and 2) man’s responsibility for his own sin and actions. And we affirm this in our confession today. Let me now leave you with some good news, because if man is left to his own responsibility, there would be no hope. As part of God’s eternal decree, He knew that his people would fall, so he chose his people in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless in Christ. As part of God’s eternal purpose, He sent Jesus Christ into this world at just the right time to save his people.]]> 66 2008-06-29 05:15:16 2008-06-29 12:15:16 open open westminster-confession-of-faith-chapter-3-section-1 publish 0 0 post _headspace_page_title Westminster Confession of Faith Chapter 3 Section 1 http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?attachment_id=68 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:39:28 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ccef.jpg 68 2008-07-02 11:39:28 2008-07-02 18:39:28 open open 68 inherit 67 0 attachment _wp_attached_file /home/reformed/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ccef.jpg _wp_attachment_metadata a:5:{s:5:"width";i:308;s:6:"height";i:308;s:14:"hwstring_small";s:22:"height='96' width='96'";s:4:"file";s:67:"/home/reformed/public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/ccef.jpg";s:5:"thumb";s:18:"ccef.thumbnail.jpg";} CCEF Annual Conference http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=67 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:39:50 +0000 reformed http://reformedchinese.net/blog/?p=67 ccef.jpg FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation (CCEF) Announces 2008 Annual Conference - The Addict in Us All Addiction sounds ominous, and it is. Addictions to drugs, alcohol, and gambling tear families apart and ruin lives. But this conference is about more than the junkie scoring dope or the alcoholic hiding vodka around the house. Even the average person gets stuck in negative behavior patterns. Overeating, shopping, sexual temptation, people’s approval, even love…everyone struggles with something. And everyone faces moments of despair and thinking that change is not possible. Is it possible to change longstanding behavior patterns? The faculty and counselors at CCEF believe that God can change the despairing and the stuck—no matter what they are struggling with. CCEF’s 2008 Annual Conference “The Addict in Us All” slated for November 14-16, 2008 at the Valley Forge Convention Center and November 13 Pre-Conference hopes to accurately represent what God says to stuck people and those who want to help them. Keynote CCEF speakers and noted authors Drs. Ed Welch, David Powlison, and Tim Lane, along with Mars Hill Church Senior Pastor/ best selling author Mark Driscoll will lead the weekend to explore how God pursues those who have given up all hope for change. A team of experienced biblical counselors, including CCEF faculty, Dr. Mike Emlet and Winston Smith, will lead general sessions and special sessions on topics that include Addicted to “Yes”: The Approval Junkie; Addicted to Love; Teens and Addiction; and This Is Your Brain on Drugs. We are delighted to have Keith and Kristyn Getty returning again this year to lead worship. The Gettys continue to tour the world promoting their album, In Christ Alone. www.gettymusic.com. Since 1968, CCEF has set the pace in biblical counseling teaching people how to explore the wisdom and depth of the Bible and apply its grace-centered message to the problem of daily living.
