There has been a debate in religious circles for a long, long time about how involved Christians should be in culture.
- Get close to outsiders. But how close is too close?
- Be friendly with your neighbors. But how friendly is too friendly?
The debate usually has two extremes: Either get immersed in your world, or don’t even touch a thing of this world. I hate either-or’s!
Instead I think there is a both-and balance that is very biblical. We need to ENGAGE our culture. Engaging culture means that we understand it and can relate to it, but we don’t give in to it nor compromise with it.
We Must Be In It But Not Of It
I’ll be addressing this topic in a new series at Calvary Assembly of God. I hope you’ll be able to join me to learn about the biblical ways we should be engaging our culture.
