Great! He is addressing the need for Christians to address the social issues that surround us. I was beginning to think the Calvinistic resurgence that the media is reporting on was strictly a pietistic, self-centered message telling the believer "how to be a better you." Calvin's theology affected both the individual and the culture the individual lives in. We need a Gospel with a holistic biblical worldview that addresses all areas of life. A Gospel that is based on love for God and love for our neighbors. Too often Reformed believers focus on being holy while their neighbors are getting killed by our secular anti-Christ culture. America is in moral free fall because the church bought into a dualistic form of Christianity that is Gnostic in nature. Its focus has been only on the spiritual things and not the things "in the world." Jesus taught we are not to be worldly but that we were to be within the world helping to redeem it. Our motivation is based on love for our neighbor.
