Christianity and Liberalism

The following block quote is from chapter 2 Doctrine page 69

"So it is with the whole of the discourse. The new law of the Sermon on the Mount, in itself, can only produce despair. Strange indeed is the complacency with which modern men can say that the Golden Rule and the high ethical principles of Jesus are all that they need. In reality, if the requirements for entrance into the Kingdom of God are what Jesus declares them to be, we are all undone; we have not even attained to the external righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, and how shall we attain to that righteousness of the heart which Jesus demands? The Sermon on the Mount, rightly interpreted, then, makes man a seeker after some divine means of salvation by which entrance into the Kingdom can be obtained. Even Moses was too high for us; but before this higher law of Jesus who shall stand without being condemned? The Sermon on the Mount, like all the rest of the New Testament, really leads a man straight to the foot of the Cross.

        Even the disciples, to whom the teaching of Jesus was first addressed, knew well that they needed more than guidance in the way that they should go. It is only a superficial reading of the Gospels that can find in the relation which the disciples sustained to Jesus a mere relation of pupil to Master. When Jesus said, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest,” he was speaking not as a philosopher calling pupils to his school; but as One who was in possession of rich stores of divine grace. And this much at least the disciples knew. They knew well in their heart of hearts that they had no right to stand in the Kingdom; they knew that only Jesus could win them entrance there. They did not yet know fully how Jesus could make them children of God; but they did know that He could do it and He alone. And in that trust all the theology of the great Christian creeds was in expectation contained."

Watch 3 Sample animation of Job. Christian media is often produced for adults and very "Americanized" however...

Dear Friends, This week I had the privilege of visiting with FamilyLife in Little Rock, AR. They are an amazing ministry and hosted me last spring on the radio program to promote The Pilgrim's Progress. This week's meeting centered around our new iBIBLE project. One of their ministry leaders posed some interesting questions. He asked me, "Who is iBIBLE for? For American youth or for the mission field? Which group are you most passionate about?" I loved his questions as they gave me the opportunity to share a unique aspect of the iBIBLE. When I started production on the iBIBLE, I had a vision to reach the unreached, to distribute it on the mission field. But as we spoke with more and more American families, they stated a need to reach their own children and grandchildren who were reading less and watching their phones more. I struggled with which group we were targeting first and foremost. However, a missionary from Pakistan taught me an amazing lesson. He said, "Brother Steve, while your animation may be targeted for youth in America, people of all ages will love them in Pakistan!" I asked other missionaries if this was the case, and they all wholeheartedly agreed. Too often Christian media in America is produced for adults and very "Americanized" to sell to their target audience. Commercially, that makes complete sense. However, it was then I realized that making Biblical and visual content targeted to American youth could also reach youth AND adults on the mission field. The content easily translates, and we could reach both groups with the same animations! I no longer had to pick which group to target.  "Nothing can ever replace the printed Word of God, but the time has come to produce a visual and interactive Bible, for American youth and for the world!" The gentleman who posed the questions to me went on to share that he was struggling with keeping his teenage son interested in the Bible and participating in family devotions. Obviously, his son could read, but his generation consumes media on the internet and on their phones. We sent him the iBIBLE prototype and we're eager to hear his son's response. My son, Jordan, who was in the meeting and is also a millennial (age 27), added that getting his generation to read the Bible was getting harder and harder, but he enjoys watching the motion-comic style of the animation in iBIBLE. He believes that if you create content that stays true to the Bible but is delivered in a format he can engage with, then you have the best of both worlds (i.e. accurate and interesting). People often state that we live in a "sight-and-sound" generation. However, during the times of Jesus, the average person was not carrying a Bible in their back pocket. Jesus spoke to them in detailed parables they could visualize, remember, and easily repeat. I would contend that they also qualified as a sight-and-sound generation. The fact is visual learning has always been effective. We are simply using today's technology—animation plus a smartphone—to distribute God's truth. Nothing can ever replace the printed Word of God, but the time has come to produce a visual and interactive Bible, for American youth and for the world! Watch a sneak peek below of scenes from Job that are now in production and will soon be placed in the iBIBLE format. Thank you for your prayers and financial support.
