• A Relevant Gospel?  Part1.5

  Where is the line
  between cultural relevance and becoming like culture?  And what is a
  culturally relevant gospel? 
  

  Let me make clarify all of these posts up, I'm not saying we should
  stop using technology from a certain point (otherwise I would be Amish, or
  perhaps where sandals because Jesus did), but we need to teach people how to
  use technology as tools. Tools and technologies whether used for secular,
  Christian or even political purposes will always have a changing effect on the
  culture we live in.  The best way (I
  believe) to do ministry is to always keep the Gospel and Christ in the
  forefront of our heart, souls and mind as the focus of ministry and to use
  culturally relevant mediums to communicate it.  After all... I spend
  20mins-45mins a day trying to communicate the G-d's redemptive work in me, my
  family, my friends, my church, and through our the world on this modern day
  medium we call a BLOG.  : )

  PS - Jen, thanks for getting this discussion started... This was not a
  stab at your comment, but a continuation of the conversation.  We are all on
  the same side, the side of a redemptive Christ who is renewing humanity one
  heart at a time.  Anyone who joins in the conversation, I think you for your post.  I've learned so much.
