Check out Denis Haack's article in this month's byFaith on Living a Magnetic Faith in a Post-Christian World.
It Rocks! He asks the question, “If you converted to Christianity today, do you think your life would be larger, fuller, richer, more attractive and creative, more involved with the people, circumstances, art, and culture around you? Or do you think your life would be smaller, narrower, more withdrawn, judgmental, and negative, less winsome and creative, less involved with the people, art, circumstances, and culture around you?” You can guess what most answers are...
The thing is, in a "post-Christian" world that has exhausted the empty promises of Modernism, Christians are really the only people with a message to be hopeful about! Yet, for the most part, we tend to just get offended at the lack of grace evidenced in the world around us and go off to play by ourselves.
Haack challenges us to see the culture around us as Babylon--a city that does not know God--and therefore as a city we must seek to win with the gospel, not legislate into submission or give up on. Amen!
