E41 Trading the Whole for Bits & Pieces

We are witnessing a time of great polarization in America - a growing cultural divide. This divide is not primarily racial or political, but rather a collision of competing worldviews for pre-eminence, and the prize: the heart and soul of our nation. But as God's people, we are called to be countercultural, as well as the salt and the light of the world. We are to be "in the world but not of it." In our series Modern Life, we will help you navigate through this confusing time so that as Christ's bride, we will remain faith-filled, fearless and fruitful in the midst of cultural chaos, confusion and compromise. If we are to live out our faith with integrity, we must be aware of the current divorce in our culture between public life and private life. In America today, we must contend with a secularized view of life where faith has been quarantined from any meaningful expression in public life. However, genuine Christianity prescribes that Everything exists for the Glory of God and rejects the sacred/secular paradigm. For us to live out the Christian worldview with integrity, we must firmly embrace that Jesus is truly Lord of all! Scripture: Colossian 1:16
