LESSON 1 - THE CULTURAL MANDATE, THE PATTERNS OF HISTORY
Most people tend to view the world around them in terms of their life span.
This is a short-sighted view and keeps people from seeing the bigger picture.
In the first week installment we go back to Genesis and look at the mandate that is given in the very beginning for human beings to bring forth the glory of God in the earth. This is not just in the physical environment, but in the cultural realm including: arts, science, history, civil government and more.
Then we take a look at broad sweeps of history and discover a pattern that is seen to occur over and over again in the lives of nations and people groups
Author and Cultural Thought Leader, Os Guinness makes this remark about the observable patterns of history.
“This cycle of change is so clear and observable that if anyone takes the trouble to understand it and its causes, they would be able to apply the insight to the history of any nation and assess accurately where the nation is in its cycle of growth or decline at any moment.”
