Examining progressivism from a Christian point of view Part 1

This message titled "Secularization: It's Power and Control" from the Ravi Zacharias International Ministries parts: (1 2 3 4) is rather brilliant in the examples cited and in it's construction. I cannot recommend it highly enough. In this particular segment, Ravi Zacharias elaborates on a writing from G K Chesterton regarding revolutionists and contradiction. I will be clipping several pieces of this message over the next couple of days and commenting on them, as there are several very deep and thoughtful things in this that we can all learn from, in defending ourselves from progressivism. It needs to be noted that at no time does Zacharias ever use the term progressivism during the entirety of the message. Yet for those of us who find ourselves on the opposite side of the assault by revolutionary progressives, it's very hard to miss how relevant this is to the topic. It will become even more clear as I develop my full thoughts with multiple clips. Here is the first clip:(comes from the end of part 3)

Ravi Zacharias on revolutionists - G K Chesterton

Two concepts that Zacharias explores are "secularization" and "privatization".(nothing to do with private property) Put these two concepts together and one thing you have is the war on Christmas. That's not mentioned in the message either, but it serves as an example of what I mean about the relevance of this message to the topic of progressivism.

If anybody wants on/off the revolutionary progressivism ping list, send me a message

Progressives do not want to discuss their own history. I want to discuss their history.

Nice try. Marketing FAIL. Post 'em here.

Thanks so much for posting this Ravi teaching. This man is a servant to the Most High God. As a Christian he has been given the gift of teaching. If you have a Ravi Zacharias ping list, please add my name to it. When I traveled much, I made discs of Ravi’s teaching/sermons and listened to them over and over while driving. He has so much to bring to the Christian mind that it takes me more than one time through to get most of it.
