Embracing Biblical Faith Amidst Cultural Confusion
Seminar Description
Many voices in North America are calling for Christianity to change its core principles and convictions in favor of our culture’s unstable views of authority, pluralism, gender, and morality. Christians often have been assailed by the surrounding culture for obeying the radical call to follow Jesus and his teachings. But, this new challenge is different because it comes from voices within churches once known for staunch loyalty to Biblical faith.
Dr. David Young, Minister, Scholar, Author, and Disciple-Maker, knows these voices well and is concerned that many well-meaning Christians and churches may be unsuspectingly swept into this misguided and dangerous approach to Christianity. The answer is to embrace wholeheartedly the rock-solid core of the historic and Biblical faith, regardless of what our culture says, and faithfully hold up Jesus as the only way and discipleship as the main thing.
Dr. Young’s presentations will clarify the current threat to Biblical faith, discuss the importance of Biblical authority, expound on the centrality of the cross and Jesus as the only savior of the lost world, and address the way biblical faith impacts the hot topics of gender and gender identity.
