Description

The Church is the pillar and support of the truth (1 Timothy 3:15 ), called to evangelize and make disciples as a preserving and illuminating force in a fallen world (Matthew 5:13 –14). Yet throughout major epochs of American Church history, her efforts to engage culture have been marked by clumsy mistakes—“bungling” her calling.For nearly 50 years, much of the American Church’s focus in Washington, D.C. has been on changing laws. While biblical laws are worthy objectives, Luke 3 shows us an even more excellent way: evangelism and repentance as God’s ordained means to bring cultural change.In this first study of a three-part series, Ralph Drollinger explores:
  • Why heart change must precede lasting societal change
  • John the Baptist’s call to repentance in Luke 3:3–14
  • How evangelism transforms individuals, institutions, and nations
  • The repeated missteps of the American Church in neglecting evangelism
Join us as we trace how the American Church has bungled her calling, and why the path forward begins with prioritizing evangelism.
