culture

Culture.  We all have one.  Cars, habits, homes, schools, sports, clothes, holidays.  What are the things that we call important?  Should a Christian engage fully in our culture, or should a christian hold back and keep themselves separate from culture?

Jesus clearly did both.  He attended weddings and was a welcome sight there.  He hung with sinners.  But he also resisted the corruption of the political and religious leaders.  He stayed on mission.

If we would win the people in our community, we have to live in and enter into this culture.  But are there ways that this culture damages our children and our lives?  What are they?  How do you choose to interface with those things that draw you away from Christ and take you off mission?

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
