Men for Christ (Part 3)

Highlights from Dr. Doug McLachlan's session - "The Church for Our Postmodern Times"
_______________
Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-8

Modernism = Replacing God with Human Reason
Post-Modernism = Replacing God & Reason with Feelings (No Absolutes)

The 4 Non-Negotionables for building 21st Century Ministries in a Postmodern World

1. God (v.1)
Passionate Exaltation

This goes against Narcissism (The sovereignty of self)

2. Truth (v.2-4)
Courageous Exposition

This goes against Relativism (the denial of truth)

3. Evangelism (v.5)
Redemptive Explosion

This goes against Pluralism (the rejection of exclusivity)

4. Eternity (v.6-8)
Fervent Expectation (seeing beyond time to eternity)

This goes against Secularism (only the here and now)
--------------

-Be involved in Redemptive Overflow of our lives in the face the Pluralistic society of Chile.
-Have a Fervent Expectancy for Eternal Treasure in the face of the Secular society of Chile.
