Episode Synopsis

How do modern ideologies that focus on the creature rather than the creator detract from the glory of God?
In this video, Tom Ascol addresses the issue of modern ideologies that have infiltrated the Church and permeated our culture. These ideologies, stemming from the mixture of neo-Marxist and post-modern ideas, include critical theory, critical-race theory, and feminism. Ascol argues that these ideologies shift the focus from God and His glory to the creature, diverting attention away from the Creator Himself. He highlights the danger of sin inverting what is right, good, and true, as warned by the Apostle Paul in Romans 1. Rather than fixing our hearts and minds upon the Creator, we are tempted to fixate on what is created.
As followers of God, Ascol emphasizes the importance of standing firmly against these godless ideologies that seek to erode the foundations of our faith and the Church of Jesus Christ. He encourages calling out and renouncing these ideologies, as they are incompatible with the gospel. As believers, our faith is centered on Christ, who alone can bring true justice, mercy, and love. Any attempt to attain these outside of Christ is considered an enemy of Christ.
Psalm 115:1 (NKJV) -- "Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but to Your name give glory, because of Your mercy, because of Your truth."
