21.28 Setting the Table of Christ and Culture (Part 2)

In this, the second episode of the Smith's biblical response to a provocative quote that has brought much confusion to the evangelical Indigenous church, Craig and LaDonna  go right back to the authority and words of Scripture to address the issue of the totality of mankind's depravity.  Red, Yellow, Black and White are, as the old Sunday school song says, not only precious in God's sight, but also estranged from the very One who created them as God gave the whole world over to a depraved mind, caused by the universal curse of sin.  Because of that reality, there really aren't any privileged cultures, at least in God's eyes, but equally in need of a Savior.  When the Smiths share what Romans 1 describes as how communities and cultures are impacted by that depravity, we soon learn that passage could be speaking about any community in the world, be it urban, rural, tribal, or even high end wealthy.  These building blocks of truth continue to help Indigenous believers build their house of faith upon a firm foundation.  Keep pounding those nails, putting up those walls, ceilings, and appliances that result in a house built upon the Rock (Christ Jesus)!
