About this episode
The central problem of the universe is not poverty, or climate change, or systemic injustice, as our modern priests would have you believe. The central problem of the universe is the holy justice of God Almighty confronting the filthy reality of your sin and mine. If you get this foundational issue wrong, you will get everything else wrong. All of our political follies, our cultural insanities, and our personal miseries flow directly from a failure to understand the gravity of sin and the necessity of a true atonement. Our secular age, and even much of the squishy evangelical world, wants to treat sin like a regrettable mistake, a personal failing, or a therapeutic problem to be managed. But the Bible treats sin as high treason against the cosmic King. It creates a debt that we cannot pay and a stain that we cannot wash.
