Responding to Our Culture

Topic Description

Many people ignore, misunderstand, or at times actively challenge God’s biblical message. It’s our responsibility as Christians to learn how to respond wisely to the issues they raise and to care for the concerns of their hearts. These posts explore how we might present our counter-cultural faith to a world in need of its truth.

Cultural Psychosis: When Truth Disappears

May 31, 2019June 2, 2019 Lynne Fox 1 Comment

Years ago Pilate asked Jesus, “What is truth?” Moderns ask a more disturbing question: “Is anything true?” and suffer from their cultural psychosis.

Understanding Godly Hierarchy (If Only Adam Had Protected Eve)

May 17, 2019June 20, 2019 Lynne Fox 2 Comments

Adam’s failure to protect his wife tore apart both their lives and left us with a fallen world.

Different roles do not imply differences in value. Hierarchies do not demean or define us. Authority conveys responsibility, not worth.

Are You Pro-Choice or Pro-Life? (I’m Pro-Both)

January 13, 2017May 24, 2017 Lynne Fox 4 Comments abortion, pro-choice, pro-life

Is it possible to be both pro-choice and pro-life? I believe it is. I’ve ended up pro-both. I believe God is pro-both as well.

Is God #pro-choice or #pro-life? His command to CHOOSE LIFE (Deut. 30:19) says He's pro-both.

Santa’s Reindeer Had Shallow Values

January 8, 2016May 11, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments bullying, the heart

I woke up this morning thinking about Rudolph, Santa’s bullied reindeer.

Externals blind us to the hearts of those we meet and need to love. What a terrible loss.

Oneness, Otherness, & Same-Sex Marriage

November 27, 2015May 11, 2017 Lynne Fox 0 Comments same-sex marriage

God wants marital oneness to portray oneness with Him. It makes sense that weddings mimic salvation by joining as “one” two who differ from each other.

Oneness involves more than love and faithfulness and generosity and self-sacrifice - it also involves otherness.
