Summary
Part of the problem with modern, New Testament, 21st century Christianity is that we have so divorced the spiritual from the physical, the eternal from the temporal, that we are not even faithful to what the Scripture teaches any longer. Again, not heresy, but unbiblical nonetheless.

Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

is that we have so divorced the spiritual from the physical,
0.89
00:00:57.060
that we're not even faithful to what the Scripture teaches.
00:01:00.000
any longer. Again, not heresy, but unbiblical nonetheless. I would argue, I know that this
00:01:09.500
is controversial, but I think it matters. I'm not just trying to make a statement to
00:01:13.800
shock and all. I think it matters. Dispensationalism, I believe, will not kill you like poison in 15
00:01:24.020
minutes, but like jack-in-the-box three times a day, it will kill you over 30 years. And if it's
00:01:32.820
jack-in-the-box three times a day, let's be honest, maybe 10, 15. Not minutes, still years, but still
00:01:39.660
dead. And I believe that not only can it do this, I believe that we can prove from Western history,
00:01:49.200
recent history, that it has done this. That from Darby and Schofield over the past 150 years
00:01:58.240
in the West, that the church has lost its potency. That the church has in large part become,
00:02:08.260
in the truest sense, pietistic. Piety, that is private practices of holiness like prayer and
00:02:16.740
fasting and scripture reading and study and generosity and alms to the poor. Piety, true
00:02:23.340
piety is wonderful and biblical, commendable and commanded actually for all those who claim to
00:02:31.860
follow Christ. But pietism, unlike piety, is a cancer. It may not be heretical poison that
0.93
00:02:41.620
will destroy within 15 minutes, but it has been able to take down entire societies in
00:02:57.440
The Puritans would be disappointed, to say the very least, in much of American evangelical
00:03:11.620
And the reason why I'm attempting to draw the correlation
00:03:34.820
It is to pretend as though we're living on this higher plane,
00:03:40.200
but that none of our beliefs and none of our practices
00:03:49.020
It is to render the gospel of Jesus Christ impotent.
00:03:53.820
It is to take all the commands and the principles of Scripture
