In this episode, Michael Horton joins Matthew Barrett and delivers a bold and sobering admonition, reminding Christians today that Jesus had strong words for his disciples when they displayed a fear of man instead of a fear of God. Horton calls on Christians everywhere to model the compassion of Jesus not only in the church but in society as well. And Horton gives us a constructive remedy when he revisits our approach to culture and asks us to reconsider whether we’ve properly understood God’s two kingdoms.
