When you stand or kneel in church, you are talking to God-singing, reading, and praying. If you are seated, you are listening to others talking about God.
Time for a sequel because postmodernism has become prevalent especially in mainline churches and has even creeped its way into the evangelical church. Much like the schools the church has been infiltrated and we must defend Biblical Christianity. One of the most disheartening things I saw in the last year was an article in Christianity Today titled, “What is Christian Nationalism” the whole idea around colonialism/nationalism comes straight from the writings of Mao, so to even entertain the premise of Christian nationalism demonstrates the ground the church has forfeited. Now more than ever Believers need to be steadfast in the faith and defend Gods Word, because the world is at war with Christianity!
Do you really think that Jesus died on a cross so that we could sit on our hands and think about how great that was, or do you think he did it to free us from a bondage so that we could be progressive and transform the world? Because you say we should focus on the cross more, but Jesus seemed far more interested in action.
The most practical thing in world is the CROSS OF CHRIST. It's law and gospel (Rev. 14:12). We have broken God's law, and the law demands perfect obedience (law). When we say "yes" to God in Jesus, His perfect obedience is imputed to us! The CROSS also shows us Christ's total self-sacrificing love for mankind (Gal. 5:13). In other words, His love at the Cross for the "other", now shows us we too are to love the "other" as He loved us. If that's by feeding the hungry, and giving shelter to the homeless, it's the cross that shows us this heavenly concept. I believe, Paul, inspired of the Spirit, meant what He said, "But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world" (Gal. 6:14).

The satisfaction theory is just one definition of what happened at the cross...
But just as an essential part of the whole of our understanding as other aspects
inner compass has lost cording.
