The current moral decline and theological compromise among Christians is no longer concerning – it’s alarming. We see division and false teaching, even in the Church itself. What can those who care do? In this program, Chip explains how can we stand for biblical truth and winsomely communicate, even regarding controversial issues, with love and integrity - just like Jesus did.

• Yesterday: We communicated on a level playing field that presumed TRUTH was an objective reality.
• Today: We communicate on the shifting sands of TRUTH as a subjective reality.
• Yesterday: The Church and the culture shared a general knowledge of the Bible.
• Today: Both the Church and the world are biblically illiterate.
