Trusting in a Culturally Relevant Gospel

Thank you.

You are welcome. I will be glad to aid you in reading my posts. Let me know if I can serve you in way other way with regards to my posts.

The Holy Ghost has the power to reach through sub-cultures and get right to the heart via the Word of God. We cloud that up with our own idea of relevancy.

Romans 10:17

Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

Not by sub-cultures.

From 1st Cor. 9:

19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Sounds like Paul was kinda culturally relevant.

Sounds like Paul was kinda culturally relevant.

He was more interested in reaching the lost than in preserving past customs.

Rev, I hate to be critical, but this post is a quotation from the interview that you reach if you click on "More Here". If you don't click on the link, you have no way of knowing that this is a quotation. You are dangerously close to plagiarism. You need to repost this and make the quotation more explicit.

The "more here" link let me know it was a quote.
