Episode notes
Righteousness Means Holiness Plus Justice
- Righteousness (dikaiosyne) means being right with God and making things right in the world.
- Jon Tyson links the Greek term to both personal holiness and social justice, arguing Christians must hold both together.
Loss Of Hunger Lets The Spirit Retreat
- Cultural decline begins when the church loses deep hunger for God's righteousness and the Spirit withdraws his manifest presence.
- Richard Lovelace's cycle: spiritual loss leads to Holy Spirit retreat, then conformity to the world and loss of power.
Half The Gospel Fails The World
- The church often splits holiness and justice into competing halves, but both are necessary for the kingdom to come in power.
- Tyson warns half the gospel cannot heal society or restore prophetic influence.
