Winning the Culture War: Our strategy for engaging a society in crisis (Part 19)

Passage: 1 Peter 4:1-6

Preacher: Tim Badal

Series:Strangers in a Strange Land

Detail:

This strategy involves:

1.  Adopting a new attitude.
     Involves:
          •  Dying to our sinful desires.
          •  Chasing after His commands.
     This leads to:
          •  Freaking out friends and family.
     And means we should be: 
          •  Prepping for persecution.

2.  Rethinking our associations.
     It's not about:
          •  Isolation from sinful people
     But about:
          •  Participation in sinful practices
     With the goal being:
          •  Transformation through the Spirit's power.

3.  Recognizing judgment is quickly approaching.
     This should motivate us to:
          •  Live defensively
          •  Pray fervently
          •  Serve faithfully
          •  Decline graciously
          •  Proclaim boldly
