They had a biblical worldview.

And it's in contrast to Romans 1, where, you know, Paul writes, we sought to

to worship the creature rather than the creator.

That's what it's about.

And unfortunately, we don't teach any systems of thought anymore.

Philosophy is kind of dead.

Theology is a little dead.

All three of these figures were highly educated in the biblical worldview, and they saw exactly what was at stake.

They were in a war with secularism, atheism, humanism, scientism.

All of those are about worshiping humanity and not God.

And if you play out what they saw back then in the 60s and 70s, you get today.

Now, I want to leave with a little hope.

We're still in good shape, right, when you look at the rough numbers of the evangelicals.

Contemporary evangelical broadcasts reach a large diverse audience.

Studies show more than 60% of American adults consume Christian media.

Christian programming total monthly reach 90 million people, 36% of Christians, the radio, 43% TV.

individual broadcasters like Joel Osteen.

Hey, Joel, if you're listening, you got to toughen up here and bring the goods on what we're talking about here today because you have a huge reach, 20 million.

Joel Osteen, a little too modern and soft.

We need to harden and steel the backbones of all these preachers.
