It's different than religions like Islam in that Islam spread largely by occupation where Christianity was a grassroots movement because it looked at Jesus, the crucified Messiah, the Lord of eternity, who stepped out of his throne into humanity in the second person of the Trinity in Jesus, and then died the death that we deserve.

And then said that your goal is to stand before the father and hear good and faith, well done, good and faithful servant. Faithful. Not influential, not world shifting, not everybody wants to have a presence online. No, you just need to be faithful and you need to be a servant in that faithfulness. And God is going to do great things with that.

God's gonna produce the Martin Luthers and the Billy Grahams and these individuals who change the world fundamentally through faithfulness, not through occupation. not through militaristic movements, but if we're faithful to the gospel message, that's really going to... You think Billy Graham was faithful? Oh, Billy Graham is definitely faithful. Yeah, yeah.

When we see these people, and I mean, I have slight disagreements with some of the things that Billy Graham believed, but ultimately you see a testimony of someone. Like what? I mean... Specifics? Is it like... No, it's very minor theological issues, I think.

I mean, I think later in his life, he became a lot more soft to things like universalism and where he kind of was more open to people not confessing Jesus Christ, but there being an aspect of they could be saved. And I ultimately, I don't think that's compatible with biblical Christianity. But I mean, talk about a guy who was... faithful in his Christian witness, in his proclamation, was zealous.

And I think, you know, just because I'm saying you need to be a faithful servant doesn't mean you don't need to be bold. I mean, Paul was bold. Paul was, his life was threatened. He was beaten. He was shipwrecked. He ultimately died for his profession of faith. So we don't need to be wallflowers. We need to be bold.

We just need to make sure that we're doing, as I quoted before, that doing so with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience.

Oh, I think the time period that we live in is much more emblematic of the early church in those first few centuries of its existence. in that you have a culture that was very much accepting of, say, promiscuous sexual ethics and idolatry and was open to things and misrepresented and misunderstood Christianity fundamentally.

in that there was a common practice within ancient Rome called exposure, where if you had a baby and you didn't want it, you would put it outside the city gates. You would put it in the garbage dumps. And Christians were notorious for going and saving these babies. And so the Christian movement actually grew in part because they were against this form of abortion in the ancient world.

And so they would collect these babies and they would raise them. And a lot of these babies were girls, which actually meant that the early Christian movements became a statistically predominantly women because a lot of these women, these little girls were exposed in this.
