Summary
Christianity has experienced a lot of criticism in our day–frankly, because we’ve failed to live out our faith. In this program, our guest teacher, John Dickerson, suggests that ignoring our Christian values is far more dangerous. Learn how to get back to our faith-based roots, which inspired those who came before us to change the world.
Main Points
- When societies follow the words of Jesus, those societies lead the way in freedom.
- When societies discard the words of Jesus, they lose those freedoms.

| 0:00.0 | Christianity and Christians are taking a lot of criticism in our day. |
| 0:05.0 | Some to be sure is deserved. We failed to live out our faith. |
| 0:10.0 | But our ignorance concerning the bedrock values and the impact of faithful Christians is far more dangerous. |
| 0:17.0 | We have to go back to our roots. We have to know what we believe and how those |
| 0:23.2 | who came before us have lived out the faith to change the world. That's today. Stick around. |
| 0:30.6 | Thanks for being with us for this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram. We are a global |
| 0:36.4 | teaching and discipleship ministry |

| 1:28.6 | The vehicle you have wouldn't exist. The electricity you had that you can turn on the lights, |
| 1:33.8 | it wouldn't be there. Without the university, you remove that one thing from the last 1,000 |
| 1:39.3 | years and we're back in the dark ages. So where did the university system come from? |
| 1:46.0 | Well, we don't have to have an opinion about this or guess because it's documented. |
| 1:50.8 | The university system, as we know, it started about 1,000 years ago in Europe. |
