Kingdon Culture Pt.1

Over the past several weeks I have been wrestling with the idea of Christ and culture. There is no doubt that the body of Christ (the church -us) will be faced with challenges that have never been addressed before. Jesus is the hope of the world and we have Jesus in our heart.

Although every generation has and will face this, I think the best days for the believers are ahead of us. Better put, instead of protecting what is the past, we are open to allowing God to work through us to create the future. Ever heard the statement "if you hold onto something too tightly, it may slip away". Lets create culture, not chase it.

* Today’s 21 year olds have spent 20,000 hours watching television, 10,000 hours playing video games, 10,000 hours talking on the phone, and have sent and received 250,000 emails or instant messages.
* More than 70% of U.S. 4 year olds have used a computer.
* 1 out of every 8 couples married in the U.S. in 2005 met online.
* The amount of technical information is doubling every two years. By 2010, it is predicted to double every 72 hours.

The world is changing. Culture is changing. I'm going to be talking a little about kingdom culture in next few days. Are you ready for change? I now this subject can be a slippery slope. But I believe it doesn't have to be.

Lets keep it simple.
