Christian Nationalism With Dr. R. Scott Clark

What role do Christians play in advancing the Kingdom? How Many Kingdoms Are There? And how are believers of the Lord Jesus Christ to conduct themselves in this present evil age? Pastor Chris Gordon and Dr. R. Scott Clark address these questions and continue the discussion on Christian Nationalism, Doug Wilson and Stephen Wolfe. Chris asks Scott to weigh in as he reads quotes from both men’s books. Dr. Clark, who has never minced words on these issues, tackles head-on the conflation and error he finds in Doug and Stephen’s writings. Chris and Scott look at scripture to discern how involved believers should be in today’s culture, often finding the truth of the Bible clashes with the call to action coming from the Christian Nationalist perspective. They look at history, our Founding Fathers, the political climate, biblical law and the laws of nature to present the clear distinction between the role of the magistrate and the true mission of the church! Don’t miss this important and sometimes complicated conversation that continues to be relevant in the Christian community today.
