“History Repeats Itself” published by World Magazine

Share This Post

There is a lot of discussion right now in the Western evangelicalism around “social justice.” It is something that we’ve done a lot of thinking about here in the DNA office. In fact, we wrote a book on this topic, Rethinking Social Justice: Restoring Biblical Compassion.

Last year, The Statement on Social Justice and the Gospel was released by a number of prominent evangelicals, notably John MacArthur and Voddie Baucham. Since its release, several colleagues and friends have asked Darrow and Scott for their thoughts regarding the statement and whether it’s something they should get behind.

In response, Scott wrote an article titled “History Repeats Itself” where he shares his reaction to the statement and what’s going on right now around this rubric of social justice. The article was recently published in World Magazine’s online edition.

In the article, Scott draws a parallel between what’s happening now with evangelical social justice movement and what happened in the evangelical church 100 years ago with the “social gospel movement.” We hope you’ll read it and let us know your thoughts!

You can find “History Repeats Itself” in its entirety here.

One Pastor’s Story: Overcoming Challenges Inside and Outside the Church with Blaine Braden

In a day and age when our churches are undergoing increasing pressure from culture to sit down and be quiet, how do pastors balance clear biblical preaching while also connecting its principles to our current cultural climate? We have all seen pastors who lean too heavily on engaging in the culture at the expense of the Scripture, or those who purely preach the Word without ever connecting it to the congregation’s lives. Pastor Blaine Braden from Eastmont Church in Oregon shares his thoughts on staying grounded and relevant as the church in a post-Christian culture.

Healing the Poverty Mindset pt. Two with Tim & Terry Andrews

Imagine working tirelessly year after year to bring development to a community that vacillates between feast and famine, where some people struggle with chronic malnourishment. Still, no amount of money, planning, or technology ever seems to help the community change. Even after working with people for decades, they still have yet to embrace better crop selection and storage methods, and the middleman seems to take whatever profit could exist. Until you begin to see reality from an entirely different perspective. Once you share it with these communities, change begins to happen rapidly. Learn about this change firsthand from Tim Andrews as he shares his 30 years of experience working in the African relief and development world.
