(Re) Creating a Christian Civilization with Pastor Doug Wilson
Manage episode 422124484 series 3528803
The Great Commission given by Jesus in the New Testament states: "All authority in Heaven and Earth has been given to me, go therefore and make disciples of all nations and baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded.”
Have you ever thought about what things would look like if we were successful in the Great Commission? What if this nation realized that all authority in Heaven and Earth belonged to Christ the King and we observed all that he commanded us? What would Alabama look like?
Not long ago, Western civilization and America believed that the Church provided moral guidance while the State had the duty of establishing law and order which reflected those moral precepts.
Some will say that to do so creates a theocracy because religious values would inform the state’s actions. What seems to be forgotten in our times is that there is no such thing as a “values-neutral” government. All laws and actions are informed by values, by a moral order. While the Left’s moral order is not rooted in a religious tradition like Christianity or Islam, it is still a moral order that they are working hard to enshrine into law, forcing it upon the people through the power of government. As uncomfortable as it may be for some Americans, we must realize that a moral order will be reflected in our federal, state, and local governments. The question is, “Which one?”
This week Bryan sits down with America's most controversial pastor to discuss what it would take to re-create a Christian civilization, if the Bible calls for it, and how Christian education plays into it.
Overtime: If you saw Pastor Wilson on Tucker Carlson recently, the episode was titled "The Christian Nationalist they warned you about!" There is perhaps no one who has leaned more into the label Christian Nationalist than Pastor Douglas Wilson. In this Overtime we ask him to define his terms and tell us why he believes Christian Nationalism is the path forward.
