The Christian Worldview

"Therefore, come out from their midst and be separate, says the Lord. And do not touch what is unclean; and I will welcome you. And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me, says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Corinthians 6:17-18). The last two weeks on The Christian Worldview, we have discussed a growing movement to “restore honor” in America, led by conservative radio and television commentator and Mormon, Glenn Beck. Beck gets much right: America is moving away from the values of its Founders (which were largely based on Christianity) towards a big-government socialistic system and that politician and policy changes will not be the answer to turn things around but rather individual citizens “seeking God.” In other words, when people’s hearts change, the country will then change for the better. Agree, agree, agree. But the Devil is literally in the details. In his large listening and viewing audience and through major multi-faith events in late August like “Divine Destiny” and “Restoring Honor”, Beck is advocating that Americans seek God in their own church, synagogue, or mosque, implying that there are many viable ways to approach God. Should a true, biblical Christian take part in this movement? Are there examples in Scripture where believers united with those who preach a different gospel (i.e. unbelievers) in a social or political movement? Under what circumstances can believers be involved with unbelievers? How does God bless a Christian who follows the biblical model of separation from unbelievers? This weekend on The Christian Worldview, we’ll answer these questions and take your phone calls as we conclude our three-week series on this topic.
