About this episode
We live in an age that has completely lost the biblical category of guilt, particularly when it comes to our leaders. When a man in high office misspeaks, miscalculates, or misbehaves, our modern world has only two responses, and both are dead wrong. The first is the secular response, which treats the transgression as a political gaffe, a public relations problem to be managed. The second is the pietistic response, which treats sin as a strictly private affair, a personal failing to be confessed quietly in the closet, with no bearing on public life. Both of these approaches are a flight from reality. They are attempts to build a society without a foundation, a government without God. The secularist denies the objective standard of God's law, and so he can only talk about optics and polls. This book, which many modern Christians foolishly neglect, is a detailed blueprint of applied holiness.
