Primary issues in the culture wars Authority Love Freedom of will (choice & consequence) Truth Life and Human Dignity

Why is this important? Kinnaman – You Lost Me Exiles Nomads Prodigals

Living Systems Theory (James Miller) Operational Doubt (Exile) – It involves a struggle in the organization to keep pace with its missional functions and objectives. Ideological Doubt (Nomad) is where we begin to no longer believe the message itself. Ethical doubt (Prodigal) where the young ones abandon the ethics of those held before them. Absolute doubt is the death of the original movement.

Why do you think this is right (or wrong)? 3 Laws of Morality: Natural, Civil, Spiritual Four Witnesses of the Spirit Inner Witness Written Witness Communal Witness Observed Witness

Who else is being affected by this decision? Biblical Examples Abraham with Sarah – Abimelek (Gen. 20) Achan (Josh 7) Adam and Eve (Genesis 2-3)

Who else is being affected by this decision? The more a culture becomes about Me and Now, the greater the tendency to define consequence in unilateral ways You will begin to hear things like: What does it matter, it only affects me? Do what you want, as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. Leadership will justify personal choices and deny any cultural ramifications. Ironically, cultures who are about Me/Now will agree with their leaders

Three certain consequences for sin Death of relationship (unity in love) Destruction on our children Exodus 20:5 - for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments. Doubt and Ethical Abandonment

Conclusion Fully surrendered life is contagious Moses The important question is not, "Did I once surrender my life to Christ?" The important question is, "Am I surrendered to Christ right now?" For the only life we have to surrender to Christ is the life we're living this moment.“ (G. Boyd) Moses Exodus 11:3 Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.
