Darryl Hart discussed his book, "From Billy Graham to Sarah Palin: Evangelicals and the Betrayal of American Conservatism." Michael Gerson also discussed themes from "Heroic Conservatism" and "City of Man: Religion and Politics in a New Era."
Romans 13
The Great Commission and Social Justice
Paul was obsessed with the gospel -- and with getting it to the Gentiles, which is why he was so ambitious to make it all the way to Rome before he died. However, there is something else with which he seemed almost obsessed, something that I'd missed for many years while reading his epistles. It was a collection from all of the mostly Gentile churches to take back to the struggling believers in Jerusalem. We can easily miss this repeated reference along with all of the incidental greetings and instructions to particular people at the end of his epistles, but it was heavy on Paul's heart. And as we will see, it was inextricably linked to (though not identical with) his ministry of the gospel.
1 Corinthians 16:1-14, Romans 15:22-29
The Great Commission
The Great Commission actually begins with the declaration: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me" (Matt. 28.18). This is the rationale for everything that the church is called to do and to be. The church's commission is indeed DIRECTED by a PURPOSE ("making disciples of all nations"), but it is DRIVEN by a PROMISE.
