How can we personally live up to our calling to freedom today? | with Os Guinness - Part 2

<p>Episode 115 - Stephanie is deeply passionate about the message of Os Guinness. In Part 2 of this interview, Os and Stephanie take things personally: how will our true knowing of God shape our calling and tranform us into the form for transformation God is calling us to be? Os takes us to the Old Testament truths of justice, communicty and covenant as radically imnportant ideas that show the world the way forward for each of us personally.</p> <p>“There are two revolutionary faiths bidding to take the world forward,” Guinness writes. “There is no choice facing America and the West that is more urgent and consequential than the choice between Sinai and Paris. Will the coming generation return to faith in God and to humility, or continue to trust in the all sufficiency of Enlightenment reason, punditry, and technocracy? Will its politics be led by principles or by power?”</p> <p>While Guinness cannot predict our ultimate fate, he warns that we must recognize the crisis of our time and debate the issues openly. As individuals and as a people, we must choose between the revolutions, between faith in God and faith in Reason alone, between freedom and despotism, and between life and death.</p> <p><span style="color:#27ae60;"><strong>GOSPEL SPICE GIVEAWAY</strong></span></p> <p>We are giving away copies of the Magna Carta of Humanity, the phenomenal book that we are discussing today on the show.
