The modern church is in the midst of a crisis: we exalt personality above character, produce entertainment rather than worship, and “tell stories” instead of preaching God’s Word. All three of these issues are symptoms of a greater confusion surrounding theology and its application. Alistair Begg challenges us to resolve this crisis by uniting the Biblical text with a clear-eyed view of the culture—that is, to seek and proclaim truth for life.
22But Felix, having a rather accurate knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the tribune comes down, I will decide your case.” 23Then he gave orders to the centurion that he should be kept in custody but have some liberty, and that none of his friends should be prevented from attending to his needs.
24After some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus. 25And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, “Go away for the present. When I get an opportunity I will summon you.” 26At the same time he hoped that money would be given him by Paul. So he sent for him often and conversed with him. 27When two years had elapsed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus. And desiring to do the Jews a favor, Felix left Paul in prison.
