Last week I posted eight sermons by David Platt which I dared you to listen to. Yesterday when I finished listening to them myself, I begged you to listen. I'm still begging, daring, urging professing Christians in affluent America to listen and seriously consider Jesus's teachings about money, urgency, the lost, and the poor. These sermons raise a lot of questions about practical daily living, which Bro. David was sensitive to address in two open-mic Q&A sessions.
- How do these commands relate to legalism and Christian liberty?
- What should a young person do when their parents forbid them to pursue the potentially dangerous call of God to international missions?
- How does a middle school, high school, or college student live out the urgent call of radical abandonment to God?
- How do we think biblically about college in light of these things?
- How do we understand our responsibility to our young children alongside our responsibility to the nations?
- Isn't this teaching a works-based salvation? Is that the same thing as "Lordship salvation"?
Much more is addressed, and you may not agree with every answer given (as I don't), but I trust these Q&A sessions will help you deal seriously and practically with the radical demands of the Gospel of Jesus Christ on your life. Please listen to the sermons first!!! It's critical that we don't bypass the biblical principles and skip straight to the practical applications, though that is the tendency we all have. We don't need an upgraded list of do's and dont's to legalistically obey! We need radically changed hearts toward God and toward all people, from which will freely flow actively obedient love.
So if you've already listened to the sermons, I submit for your further edification, these Q&A sessions from the Church of Brook Hills website.
