“City On a Hill [Holy Discontent Pt. 5]”
(Matthew 5:1-16)
Culture is, IN PART, the ethnic identity, collection of beliefs and practices, governing ideas and values, and opportunities afforded to us in a given society.
Matthew 5:1-16 NKJV
How are Christians to relate to the cultures in which they live?
• Consume it (Celebrate it all as good and acceptable)
• Critique it (Show it how to "get better")
• Condemn it (Label it as entirely useless and sinful)
• Copy it (Put a "Christian" spin on it)
• Create it (Point people to the difference maker, Jesus Christ)
"Christians make sense of the world by making something of the world."
-Andy Crouch
We are called to use our position (city on a hill) and our potential (salt & light) to create a culture that glorifies God!
