Living with Biblical Convictions in a Compromising Culture

Daniel 1:8 "But Daniel made up his mind that he would not defile himself with the king’s choice food or with the wine which he drank; so he sought permission from the commander of the officials that he might not defile himself" In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve challenges Christians to stand firm on their convictions and refuse to compromise biblical truth. Using Daniel's example, he explains why believers need convictions that are firmly rooted in God's Word rather than beliefs that can easily be changed by cultural pressure. Pastor Jeff discusses the importance of Christians being involved in the political process, evaluating candidates according to their convictions and positions on important moral issues. He also addresses the influence of socialism, secularism, and Islam on American culture and emphasizes the need for Christians to speak the truth in love while remaining faithful to Scripture. The program also explores the importance of living out one's faith consistently, being a light in a dark culture, and standing for Christ even when doing so comes with opposition or personal cost. Pastor Jeff takes listener calls and shares why his passion for hurting and broken people comes from a desire to point them toward the hope found in Jesus.
