The Third Way

In a recent class discussion, many questions were raised regarding the role(s) of government, church, and how Christians should interpret/react to the changing of culture of today??? Below, is just a snapshot of some thoughts/notes (in rough outline form) that were shared in class. Bottomline - God created specific institutions and man (because he is sinful) is destroying those institutions. We are truly in a spiritual battle and the only way to make sense of any of this, is to turn to the One who is sovreign. We, as BIBLICAL CHRISTIANS, must stand up - we must do our duty and occupy until He returns. Here is the Million Dollar Question - are you ready and willing for what it will take to stand for Biblical truth, to stand for Jesus - in a world that is raging against Him?

BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW APPLICATION - The Third Way
God Created Institutions
· Civil Government
· Family Government
· Church Government
Institutions Destroying America
· Apostate / Emergent Church
· Educational Establishment
· Occultism / Pagan Spirituality
· Government/Corporate Complex
America and its connection to Saul Alinsky
· Concept from Georg Hegel
1.Opinion versus Opinion
2. Must have conflict / agitation
3. Through conflict / agitation comes reform or change
4. The two “opinions” merge
5. This merge is known as “The Third Way” – what was wanted all along.
· Karl Marx studied Hegel at Berlin University
· Saul Alinsky detailed this philosophy in his book “Rules for Radicals” – dedicated to Satan
1. President Obama taught the philosophies of ALINSKY for four years as a community organizer in Chicago
2. David Alinsky (son) praised Obama during the campaign for implementing the strategies of his father.

The “HOOK”
· The APOSTATE CHURCH (pagan spirituality and mysticism)
1. The Emergent Church
2. Social Gospel
3. The Religious Left
· Application of HEGEL to the spiritual realm – remember, Marx was an atheist – the spiritual realm did not apply to him.
1. Good versus Evil (opinion versus opinion)
2. Agitation to produce reform
3. Compromise – “The Third Way” or the third option
· RESULTS
1. No literal hell
2. An upward “spiritual evolution”
3. Ushering in of God’s kingdom here on earth – “Dominion Theory” “Kingdom-Now Theology”
4. COMMUNITARIANISM – the blending together of COMMUNISM, HUMANISM, ATHEISM, and SOCIALISM; emphasizing the need to balance individual rights and interests with that of the community as a whole, and that individuals are shaped by the cultures and values of their communities.
THE END GAME
· Persecution of the “REMNANT” by the APOSTATE CHURCH
· Lays the foundation for a (1) One-World Government, (2) One-World Economic System, and (3) One World Religious System.
