| Course Summary: |
| The "Christian Ethics in the 21st Century" course, led by Rev. Pamela Brewer, covers various dimensions of Christian ethics. The course starts by emphasizing the importance of walking in the truth as prescribed by Scripture. It explores the three dimensions of Christian ethics: "God's Commands," which involve explicit biblical guidelines; "God's Character," focusing on deeper principles underlying these commands; and "The Heart of God," highlighting the need to understand God's nature for ethical decision-making. Each lesson delves deeper into these dimensions, with an emphasis on moving beyond mere rule-following to develop a profound relationship with Christ. The course stresses the transformative power of God's character and the need for believers to understand the heart of God to make ethical decisions more predictably. It also discusses the dangers of legalistic rule-following without a genuine connection with God. Throughout the course, the central theme is that Christian ethics should be deeply ingrained in one's character and actions, necessitating both the external rules of God's commands and the internalized development of God's character for making sound ethical choices in the complex landscape of the 21st century. The course also encourages believers to speak the truth in love, show compassion, and turn the world right-side up through their ethical conduct. |
