Have we been looking at the Great Commission all wrong? How would the world change if Christians lived as if being born again is just the entry point to faith—a faith that is not meant to be private?
Pastor Allen explored these and other issues related to leading with faith in an increasingly ungodly world during a recent interview with Richard Harris, executive director of The Truth & Liberty Show.
The interview explored how many of society’s ills can be traced to moving from the biblical worldview that America was founded upon, to a timid faith that does not engage with culture. America’s Christian heritage “shouts from the pages of history,” Pastor Allen said, and Christians cannot retreat from that into a quiet, personal faith. “I can’t find ‘private faith’ in my Bible,” Pastor Allen said. “If you’ve accepted Jesus, let’s begin to grow up in our faith.”
The role of parents and the home, the importance of work, and the problems of socialism were also discussed. Pastor Allen has spoken to pastors and their congregations about the need to take the first century lessons of the Bible into the twenty-first century. “We’re not historians and we don’t have a theoretical faith,” he said. “We have a faith that is now, and we have to be willing to engage in the culture we live in today.”
We think this interview will encourage and equip you—watch it here.
