For the sake of being relevant and culturally acceptable, we have compromised our original culture as the Church and actually become irrelevant. We have moved from a Church in America that once affected culture and maintained its morality to becoming a group who claims relevance but actually has little to offer and is largely ridiculed and/or ignored. We have become a subculture within a culture that has no voice.
Without a cultural shift in how we disciple people in their relationship with Christ, we will continue to produce what we currently have as weak believers, a few disciples and few true authentic Christians. The question is: why are we still doing what we know produces no results? Why are we building so laboriously what the next generation does not want to inherit?
For those who are willing to embrace this, they will see how Kingdom discipling is the catalyst for long-term cultural change. May you read with an open mind and allow the Holy Spirit to give you the Spirit of understanding to embrace apostolic grace and Kingdom dynamics.
