Caffeinated Thoughts: Deace on the Church and Engaging Culture

  • Carl Holmes · 5 months ago
    One of the reasons I am emerging in my beliefs is the ability they are searching for to engage culture and create culture, ultimately redeeming it.

    One of the many reasons we are loosing the culture war as the church is we are either saying we are above culture and trying to make our own making us look elitist, or we are emmulating instead of creating culture and we look like the partiers who came to the party to late and just look dumb.

    As much as I hate to admit it, he is resonating with me pretty well. The church has a problem... a big one. We must start remedying it by engaging with the culture at least at some level, instead of disparraging it all the time.

    Carl,

    Wouldn't you agree that ultimately the only way to redeem culture is to see people redeemed through Christ?

    That is mainly what Deace is getting at.
