Cultural Engagement
We should be subject to rulers and maintain good works for these things are profitable unto men (Titus 3:1;8).
Christians have the responsibility to know what is going on in their world and to take available steps in bettering the world for the glory of God. At the same time, not all meet with the same providence, have the same calling, or have their consciences pricked in the same way. Just as all Christians have the responsibility to engage in evangelism, some have more opportunity than others, some are especially called and gifted for evangelistic ministry, and some are moved with a heart for the nations while others are called to evangelize at their places of business. Of course, all Christians must speak when God gives opportunity and Christians must be intentional in regard to gospel advance. With regard to politics, public policy, and overall cultural engagement, some have more opportunity to involve themselves in public service from a Christian perspective, some are especially gifted and called to gospel advance through engagement in the public square, and some are moved with a heart for social transformation as a result of gospel influence in public life. And yet, in keeping with our evangelism illustration, all Christians must speak or vote when God gives opportunity and Christians must be intentional in regard to gospel influence in the public square.
News
Providence Ministries has undertaken a major project to update its website, especially its content.
Under our audio section you will soon find our sermon audio files sorted by books of the Bible rather than by date. And our content will be up to date and growing.
We hope you like the changes, and as always, we appreciate your suggestions.
