Doing justice is just as much a part of the work of the church as evangelism; one is not more important than the other. Justice is restoring the fabric of our communities. To become someone who does justice, we must know that we are sinners saved by grace and that God Himself was a victim of injustice. This talk was given at the Reform & Resurge conference of 2006.

There is only one gospel, but the Bible itself gives us examples of the gospel being presented in different forms. Therefore we can biblically embrace contextualization and use it as a tool as we preach, teach, and spread God's word.

Only in Christianity is the world intentionally created by God. The world is not created by accident and then ruled by God. Therefore, all of God's creation - including wealth - should be enjoyed. However, if our worldly wealth becomes our identity, we will remain in unfulfilling jobs; we will overwork to gain financial prestige; and we may become emotionally bipolar. This kind of wealth-based identity causes us to dangerously seal off work life from personal life.

The idea of "persuasion" makes some people uncomfortable, but it is important to cultivate and understand it in the context of our own ministry. The model of persuasion laid out by Paul is to adapt our communication - without compromising the Bible - by listening to our audience, entering their framework, challenging their framework, and then completing their framework with the Bible's truth.

Everything in the Bible points to Jesus. Instead of telling people how to live, a pastor must show his people what Jesus has done for them and address the idolatries of their hearts so that they can love him out of joy rather than guilt.

To examine the relationship between practicing law and Christianity, we must re-imagine how we practice law as Christians, and the law profession itself. This means we need to do two things: understand how law is critical to cultural activity and carefully analyze our own idols. To re-imagine the law profession as a whole, we need to consider the history of law's secularization, recognize the myth of neutrality, and realize that Christians have a perspective that the law profession desperately needs.

From Psalm 48, we learn that the city of God is the joy of the whole earth; is embattled but called to live in peace and love; and will never be destroyed.
For us today, this means we are to be an Alternate City within New York City. To that end, we need hundreds of churches in the city. Therefore Redeemer has started a church planting center (which also plants churches in other denominations), and is itself becoming a multi-site church.
This was the second of four annual State of the Vision services at Redeemer Presbyterian Church.
