Witness to a Post-Christian Culture
Summary
Host Mike Horton and guests Dr. Kim Riddlebarger, Rev. Ken Jones, and Dr. Gene Edward Veith revisit the 2006 "Romans Revolution" series. They argue that modern Christianity suffers from moralism and cultural accommodation rather than gospel clarity. The panel contrasts the church’s need for doctrinal depth with contemporary trends of entertainment and self-focus, urging a return to Paul’s teachings on sin and grace.
