DISQUS

James McLean · 1 year ago

i like Alan Hirsch. I believe what he's saying here is that our choices and philosophy of life needs to come from the Bible if we are to effectively live out the mission of Jesus. Many Christians try to start with the culture they are in and then interpret the Bible based on that. We should be doing the reverse. What does the Bible say? Now how do i make that happen in this culture?
And there is a way to do it that represents the gospel well. protesting and legalism would be a poor representation as well as failure to mention the fall, sin and redemption.
I believe people come to Christ when they see a group of people (the Church) walking in the ways of Jesus so passionately and selfless that they are given a clear picture of joy and peace and love and how things were always meant to be before the fall. I know it seems idealistic but with Christ i have hope that its possible.
Good Post!
