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

Two mostly competing views of redemption have emerged among conservatives. The one we embrace shapes our entire outlook on life and eternity.

Crucial to the Christian worldview is common grace, God's kindness toward and gifts to unbelievers, and a critical means of preserving continuity in history to expand his Kingdom.

Christians must abandon their spiritual somnolence and dead orthodoxy and rouse themselves to hold onto God if they are to expect any church or cultural reformation.

You can't get the Gospel right if you get the family wrong.

Pietism, Apocalypticism, and Retreatism — these are bad church ideas that are responsible for much of the political apostasy baptizing our present society.

A wide-ranging interview by Allison Burr from "Cultivating the Kingdom" on the meaning of the Gospel, the role of Christian education, the Christianity of the American Founders, the philosophical "inward turn" of existentialism, expectation in prayer, and much, much more.

Conservative Christianity is now paying a heavy price for the underdeveloped gospel it has preached for the last few generations. The cosmological gospel of Jesus Christ designed to reorient an entire sinful cosmos is the robust gospel that can — and will — reverse our present cultural apostasy.

Gospel ministry is not chiefly about redeeming sinners for heaven but redeeming a sinful world in all of its dimensions. The best gospel ministers (in pulpit, classroom, auto repair shop, software lab, art house, state house, investment house) are those who practice this world-redeeming gospel.

Only Jesus Christ is the cure for human confusion, human autonomy, and human guilt.

If you understand God's providence, you will be filled with comfort even in the most dire circumstances — God is not far off. He's constantly "meddling" in His world.

Our apostate times are hazardous for single young adults. God's Word shows them how to avoid the hazards.

The Gospel isn't a self-help plan or a ticket to ride to heaven.

We often hear today that the exhortation "Quit sinning" is a Pharisaic, grace-less moralism. It is nothing of the kind. The critics are often simply influenced by the antinomian temper of our times.

Jesus Christ's holistic claims on us

Explodes false, mystical evangelical theories about God's will.

The secular plausibility structure and its implementation as both the sexual revolution and economic rigging have created a sin-sick culture in the West that only a new Christian culture can heal. Christian culture reflects confident truth in an age of chaotic relativism, offers liberating redemption in a time of enslaving depravity, and inspires joyous hope amid an environment of cynical despair.

Christian Culture is rooted in the creation order and in ancient Israel. It sprouted in the Constantinian Edict of Milan and flowered in Byzantium and in medieval Europe. It blossomed in the Protestant Reformation. Not to know THIS culture is to be ignorant of vast stretches of Western civilization and to be impotent in confronting our present apostate culture.

Christian culture in Europe, Russia and North America was ruined by many factors, but one of the most destructive was the Kantian "flight to the interior," which abandoned vast stretches of "public" life to anti-Christian forces. A paradigm for the reversal of this ruin can be found in the neo-Reformational paradigm of Abraham Kuyper, Herman Bavinck, Herman Dooyeweerd , and Cornelius Van Til. All of life must be redeemed by recourse to God's written Word.
