A short YouTube conversation featuring Rylee Meek arguing that Christian faith requires active application, not merely knowledge. The speakers urge believers—especially pastors and churches—to engage the public square and influence culture, citing Scripture (notably 1 Corinthians 11:19) as justification for involvement rather than passivity.
If we, the church, are the ones who actually have the truth, we know the truth, why aren't we living the truth? Why aren't we affecting the culture rather than the culture affecting us?
Yes, absolutely. And I think that's a lot of it has to do. You can know the word. Right. Which at Calvary Chapel, I'm a huge fan of. Right. Yeah. I love, you know, expository teaching and just getting into the word of God, but at some point you have to do the word of God. Yeah, Right. And it's. It's. And I think if. If we come. Come to this realization in our faith, it's like, yes, I can know something. It's one thing to know something, it's another thing to actually put it into practice. Right. There's the accumulation of truth and really the application of truth. Right. Which I think is really more of the wisdom that we develop from reading the Bible. But we have to put this into practice. And I don't understand how any pastor couldn't read the Bible. Not just pastor, but. But any believer can read the Bible and understand that or come to the conclusion that we shouldn't be involved with the affairs of our city. Right. And to be in the public square and to. I mean, this is what over and over and over and over again, Scripture represents. And for them just to not be involved with those things, I think is a complete failure. Right. And back to what was mentioned earlier, that verse, specifically, it was at first Corinthians 11:19 says, and this is Paul obviously writing to the church in Corinth, which is a complete freaking mess.
