P. Andrew Sandlin's Podcasts, Preaching, And Lectures

Modern science was launched almost exclusively by Christians and on distinctly Christian premises. In fact, modern science would’ve been impossible apart from a Christian worldview. Darwinism, by contrast, is an atheist explanation of the physical world that dehumanizes man and trashes creation.

Conventionally conservative groups like the Southern Baptist Convention have tried to champion Critical Theory, the analytical tool of Cultural Marxism devised by the Frankfurt School of the Weimar Republic and transplanted to the United States by men like John Dewey. This podcast is a simplified explanation of Critical Theory and a brief critique, showing that it is contra-biblical, self-refuting, and culturally destructive. To attempt to maintain it as a critical tool “within a Christian context” is to betray a fundamental misunderstanding of what it actually is.

The elite social vision of our time has infested nearly every aspect of our society — including the church. And it is utterly poisonous. 

Secularists and pagans say that Christianity is the blight of the Western world. All to the contrary: all of the great blessings they take for granted are bequeath by Jesus Christ, Christianity, and Christendom.

This is how history will unfold. Biblical Faith is optimism on steroids. 

Why are Christians so defeated in their individual lives, families, churches, and culture? Often because our prayers are paltry, anorexic, and unbelieving. When we get serious about prayer, God is serious about answering. 

The Bible isn’t just a book for church and theology. It’s a book designed to orient all of our lives and culture. A narrow theology has led us to a narrow faith. And failure. 

Christians today are under increasing persecution internationally, including in the United States, but this is not an unprecedented development. What is it about Christianity that makes it such a frequent target of persecution?

Satan’s end game is not to make all moral choices equally acceptable but to make immorality alone acceptable. 

Our time suffers from an abysmal ignorance about God’s law. This talk summarizes what the Bible teaches.

Almost all great revival and reformation begins with a revival and reformation of prayer, great, persevering prayer, not prayer that mildly accepts  the status quo as the will of God or hides behind the eternal decrees. If you want great Reformation, start praying.

Discussing three identifiable groups within the present evangelical controversy surrounding “social justice.”

The apostle Paul was the greatest Christian theologian in history. Here’s why. 

If you’re enduring great trails and hardship just now, never assume that God is the author, and always assume that he delights to deliver his people who cry out to him in faith. Our God is a good God, and he wants only what’s best for us.

Jesus Christ is mediator of creation, not just redemption, and he is vitally interested in material creation: the visible church, clothing, architecture, and physical healing. 

The Christian goal must be to de-normalize the current godless plausibility structure and re-normalize the holy plausibility structure. Q & A about supporting Donald Trump, the genetic predisposition to homosexuality, secular presuppositions in children’s movies, and the logical consequences of a homosexual plausibility structure. 

There can be no “Christian liberals,” and conservatives cannot long preserve their position if they abandon the Faith. Libertarianism, constitutionalism, and paleo-conservatism will not sustain conservatism. Christ alone sustains politics. 

Gnosticism is the most dangerous and recurrent  heresy in Christian history. It increasingly corrupts both modern church and culture. The cure is Creational Christianity, which has been tragically missing in the modern church. 

Two mutually irreconcilable philosophies and and worldviews were on graphic and dramatic display last Thursday. One was godly. One was ungodly.

Why are recently conservative evangelicals fallling for the “social justice” of Cultural Marxism? Because grace, like nature, abhors a vacuum.
