22.19 The Who, What, and Why of Scripture - Redemption (Part 3)

In today's episode, Craig and LaDonna wrap up their journey into what the Scriptures have to say about the doctrinally important teaching on Redemption.  We've already seen that the Scriptures present this concept as the work of God in the life of the individual, and not in the culture!  There is no biblical basis to ever promote the work of God as redeeming culture.  As Craig notes in this episode, no culture will ever stand before God and give an account.  Only individuals out of every sin stained culture will.  Craig offers comment from a theologian who read and critiques materials offered in a book from one of the leaders of the Redeeming of Culture movement.  His insights are clear and compelling, and ones that the Smiths stand in agreement with.  You'll also learn about an important Indigenous Faith training conference the Smiths are hosting this summer for Indigenous Christian Leaders and those who serve among them.  Perhaps it's an event you would want to attend.  You can learn more about the conference at the Smith's website, tribalrescue.com.  As we speak, the Smiths are digging into the Scriptures once more as they begin to present the next crucial theological concept that the Redeeming of Culture misinterprets in it slippery slide from good proper contextualization into the deep and troubling embracing of syncretism as the basis for their teaching.  Friends, let's be committed to the timeless truths of God's Word instead, as the basis for our God honoring Indigenous Faith!
