A Place For Truth

The Law of God: The foundational authority and abiding ethic for all of life. Speakers David Smith Ardel Caneday P. Andrew Sandlin Bob Dalbery Host: Eric Anderson | Producer: David Gonzales

What is the relationship between our heavenly citizenship and our earthly life? According to Scripture, how ought the fact and privileges of our heavenly citizenship influence our earthly citizenship involvement? How do we go about weighing the ethical merits of two candidates when both have morally questionable features? Should the church be involved in politics? Is it possible for a biblical Christian to support the Democratic Party? Is a third-party vote a reasonable choice in this particular election? Is my vote more of a simple or a complex decision? How can I have a “clean conscience while voting in earthly elections?

On Sunday, May 17, Pastor Eric Anderson, Lifespring Church of Crosby, MN hosted a Zoom conversation with questions principally directed to Drs. Ardel Caneday and P. Andrew Sandlin concerning Christian thinking, Spheres of Sovereignty, Church, Worship, business, politics and COVID-19. This was a 90 minute discussion and has been Re-formatted into an MP3 file, which is linked below.  It is worth taking the time to listen to these seasoned Christian Leaders and theologians discuss these topics and address audience questions, beginning with a short refresher by Dr. Sandlin on the three spheres of God’s ordained Sovereignty over life in this world (Church, Family and Government) The conversation ranged from discussing proper uses of the Apostle Paul’s instruction for Christians and the church in Romans 13, radical two-kingdom theology, the role of the church within society, whether churches should ever cancel public worship assemblies, whether the civil magistrate is bound to God’s law, America’s Founders’ view of human nature, the diabolical basis of coronavirus fear, and more. The Lordship of Christ: Christians, Government and Culture…in a time of COVID-19 Crisis.  (thanks to Joe Bancks, Joe Reed, Corban Noah and Isaac Ohman for helping with discussion and audio re-formatting) Playing on the title of David Wells seminal work on the state of Evangelicalism, “No Place for Truth,” "we have called this occasional Zoom Meeting “A Place for Truth.”  We seek to return Historic, Biblical "Orthodoxy" to the church, as we discuss and discern truth from error with God's people, through teaching and Q&A with experienced Pastors and Professors who have spent many years contending for The Truth, as revealed in God's Word (John 17:17) These Zoom Meetings and resulting podcast are hosted by Pastor Eric Anderson, Lifespring Church, Crosby (www.visitlifespring.com)

Wednesday Evening, June 24, Pastor Eric Anderson of Lifespring Church, Crosby, MN, hosted a Zoom Q&A with Drs Ardel Caneday and P Andrew Sandlin on discerning the current cultural crisis tearing apart both our society and sadly, many churches. Topics included: How do we understand the current cultural divide (and conflict) going on, related to both our common heritage and our cultural divides and to racial and political tensions? What is racism? Is racism a sin? What are the roots of the riots and protests? What is Cultural Marxism? What worldview is behind the monument toppling? Should we leave conservative churches that have embraced “wokeness?”What is the relationship between our current struggles and a shifting cultural worldview below the surface? Ardel Caneday and  P. Andrew Sandlin are two men who have taught in academia and the church for many years, from the same consistent foundation: That the Bible is God’s authoritative Word and applicable to every difficult issue we face in life, including racism and political conflict.

"A Place for Truth" Zoom Series--Here is the Podcast from our Zoom Event "Contending Against the Woke Religion" from Wednesday evening (July 29, 2020), with Professors and Pastors  Ardel Caneday, P. Andrew Sandlin, David Smith, and Bob Dalberg. We covered any number of topics and questions covering the dangers of this new Religion, under our shared conviction that Woke-ism, New Social Justice Movement, Racialism, Critical theory, etc. are dangerous departures from the True Gospel the moment they are taught, destroying the unity of the church's in which they are propagated. In spite of these very real threats to "the faith delivered once to the saints" our speakers also set their "flags" on the hope and victory of the true church over this false Gospel; For King Jesus Reigns, and his True Gospel brings true unity, destroying all Strongholds which the devil may bring at us. II Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. *Thank you to Steph Theis for serving as Secretary and David Gonzalas for running the controls Playing on the title of David Wells seminal work on the state of Evangelicalism, “No Place for Truth,” "we have called this occasional Zoom Meeting “A Place for Truth.”  We seek to return Historic, Biblical "Orthodoxy" to the church, as we discuss and discern truth from error with God's people, through teaching and Q&A with experienced Pastors and Professors who have spent many years contending for The Truth, as revealed in God's Word (John 17:17) These Zoom Meetings and resulting podcasts are hosted by Pastor Eric Anderson, Lifespring Church, Crosby MN (www.visitlifespring.com), with production work from David Gonzales, Spring TX (weirdfishmedia.com).
