State of the Nation 2020

God is continually active in His created world, sustaining it at every moment. Human beings were made to worship and serve, to tend and keep God’s good creation, and our attitude toward work reflects our theology.

A Christian Philosophy of Work

A proper Christology militates against statism or salvation by politics, because God&#39;s reign is not mediated by human powers and institutions, but by Christ alone. 

Christian Witness in a Hostile Culture

In many cases, heretical, anti-God ideas only show themselves outside the sphere of the church. Joe Boot addresses the ARPA Niagara chapter on the heresy of liberal democracy. 

The Heresy of Democracy

EICC Fellow Jonathan Burnside explains the blessings of following God&#39;s law that accrue to a nation.

Government According to the Gospel

Engaging the Cultural Landscape

Peter Jones demonstrates the wide gulf between the Christian and non-Christian worldview, and the implications they each have for sexuality.

Worldview, Pagan Revival, and Pagan Sexuality

The residual Christian worldview is declining in our culture. Rather than seeking to encounter the world as it is given, the prevailing cultural motive is to impose on the world an artificial and unrealistic vision of origins, ethics and destiny that stands in rebellion to God.

Viewing the Cultural Landscape

Many Christians have deliberately avoided the sphere of art as an immoral and ungodly realm. But God has created man to be his representative and image-bearer in every area of life. It is part of the Christian duty to pursue godly art as a part of pursuing godly culture.

A Christian Theology of Arts and Culture

Rev. Dr. Joe Boot describes the theological framework from which to understand the missional call of every Christian. He encourages and challenges the church to fully understand and apply what it means to be called by Christ as culture shapers and transformers.
