Follow Christ, Not Cultural Trends

The church isn’t supposed to blindly follow mainstream cultural trends—even powerful ones with massive elite support and financial backing. It is supposed to uphold and live out the counter-cultural ways of Christ’s kingdom as salt and light in the midst of an increasingly dark and chaotic culture. Unless the church pulls its foot out of the ideological social justice quagmire, and places both feet firmly on the solid ground of biblical truth, the consequences will be devastating for both the church and the nations we exist to bless and serve.

Adapted from Why Social Justice Is Not Biblical Justice by Scott David Allen

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how will it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out to be trampled under foot by men. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven (Matthew 5:13-16, LSB).
