Russ Moore on the Christian Story

I have a wonderful habit of putting my two little ones to bed by sermon. With streaming audio, we can listen to Piper, MacArthur, Mohler, Sproul, and many others. My kids actually love it. I stroll my 1 year old around the office and kitchen as we listen, which effectively puts her into a deep coma-like sleep, while my 3 year old sits at the computer desk in the spinning chair and listens while rotating.

Last night while attending to this ritual, we listened to Dr. Russ Moore of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary deliver a message in their chapel called, "Beyond a Veggie Tales Gospel: The Bones of Joseph, The Kingdom of Christ, and the Story we Tell." This message was essentially a plea for Christians to embrace the metanarrative of the Bible. It is when we see all of history as God working out all things for His own glory that we rightly make decisions about the relatively small affairs of our daily lives. And without this approach of seeing the world through the eyes of Scripture, we will fail at any task of defending our faith, for it will be reduced to Veggie-Tale styled moralisms. I encourage you to click on the link above and listen intently to this important message about what Christianity is all about.
