Title: Does Christianity have a Place in Today's World?
Topic: Christian Discrimination in America

Discussed by Dr. John Lennox
with Dr. John Lennox

Part 1 of 3

Dr. John Lennox is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford. He holds an MA and DPhil from Oxford University and an MA in Bioethics from the University of Surrey. He is definitely an intelligent man. But what inspired him to write a book about Daniel, “Against the Flow: The Inspiration of Daniel in an Age of Relativism.”

“Daniel has things to teach us in the 21st Century on how to remain stable and courageous,” Dr. Lennox says. Daniel lived in one of the most interesting eras in all of history. He was part of a very small minority that believed in God. In spite of this and other hurdles, he still rose to be the ruler of a great nation. He accomplished many great things in the name of God.

Christians can still learn from Daniel today. During this and the next two segments, Dr. Lennox tells more of Daniel’s back story. “If you put God first, in the end, He will honor you,” he says.

Title: Part 2 of 3 - Does Christianity have a Place in Today's World?
Topic: Christian Discrimination in America

Discussed by Dr. John Lennox
with Dr. John Lennox

Dr. Lennox calls the times in which we live a “Modern Babylon”. But, are things really that bad? Babylonians, after all, Babylonians worshipped many gods. They had many idols. They were very “me” focused. How is that any different than today? Think about it….

In this segment, Dr. Lennox explains how Daniel and his friends were able to rise to power amidst the corrupt culture. Jeremiah taught them that they should accept the education that was given to them, but they should guard their heart. Jeremiah warned Daniel and the others not to allow the influence to corrupt them.

Christians must focus on integrity when they find themselves in positions of power and influence. Dr. Lennox says, “The secret to integrity is to choose God at each stage.”

FACT CHECK: The concept of 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour comes directly from Babylon. Pretty cool.

Title: Part 3 of 3 - Does Christianity have a Place in Today's World?
Topic: Christian Discrimination in America

Discussed by Dr. John Lennox
with Dr. John Lennox

Politics, government, and the need for some “control” or order is necessary in every society. It’s a necessary evil. Christians must play an active, positive, important role in politics. It is our duty.

But how do we participate when all we hear seem to hear is Christians are racist, bigoted, homophobic, and haters? Dr. Lennox says this: “Political correctness is paralyzing public debate.” Atheists and others are adamant that God does not exist; they do not want to hear anything positive about Jesus and his love for us. Therefore, they try to silence us at every turn.

Dr. Lennox believes that the single most important things Christians can do is to put God in the first place in our lives and trusting Him to help us navigate through life.
