 Thomas
Q. takes a different tact with the scripture passage today. In this message he shares more of his
own personal opinion than usual regarding the selected scripture than he
normally would. We’re all familiar
with the 40 days of fasting and temptation of Jesus by Satan. That event will serve as our basis for
the lesson today.
We recently
discovered an older message that had never been produced for the Come and See
radio program. We believed that
Thomas Q’s teaching at that time that referred to events that were current six
years ago and the principles that were presented for that need are just as
desperately needed today as they were then.
And
those principles remain the same as we continue confronting our culture as the
people of God and followers of Jesus Christ. In this message, “A CLEAR, CLARION CALL FROM OUR CULTURE”
Dr. Robbins helps us understand what that call is and how important the Bible
is to our answer. The validity of
the Bible’s truth and message is essential to know before we attempt to answer
to the cry of our culture and the “religion of secular humanism”.
Dr. Robbins deals with the release of
the book, “The Da Vinci Code”, the MTV culture we live in characterized by the
halftime ceremony of the Super Bowl and the movie that was being released – The
Passion of Christ. As you listen
to this message follow carefully why we have an answer for our culture.
It’s
quite likely you've already forgotten the news and uproar these three events
caused some six years ago. They
are nothing more than faded memories for you and far from being and issue. And the producer of The Passion film
has disappointed the public by his actions and responses last year which give clear
evidence that we ALL need to be grateful for the forgiveness Christ offers ALL
of us.
The
beat goes on and takes the form of new issues with the same cry from our
culture and the world. The beat
keeps pounding and the cry sounds even louder. The world, our culture and “we” are all so confused. All of us are crying out -- trying to
discover, unearth, find whatever is real and latch onto it.
The
clarion call is a cry for meaning and reality in life. Listen for a staggering quote from Thomas Wolfe that Thomas Q.
uses. Here’s
Dr. Robbins with the passage from the 4th chapter of Luke and a
lesson he calls, “A CLEAR, CLARION CALL FROM OUR CULTURE”.

Many listeners have asked about the theme song of "Come and See." It is sung by Bob Bennett who is also the composer. Some ten years ago, Bob gave Dr. and Mrs. Robbins permission to use his "Come and See" song for the radio program. Since then listeners have been blessed by the message and the unique ministry of Bob Bennett.
