The Culture has changed, dramatically. It would be difficult to argue that the changes have been beneficial, though there are always some who enjoy polluted water to fresh.
Sadly, the Culture’s freefall has a parallel Plunger. Us. Those who claim to be followers of Christ. We now have a stunning image problem in the US. I think you already know that. But the twist is, part of our reputation may be deserved. And that is troubling. Our behavior belies our beliefs.
What will we do to turn this around? I’ve got an idea. How about you and I spend some time with Jesus in His Bible today? We can’t pass along to our culture what we do not possess. They need the True Jesus, in all His Courageous Glory. We can’t bring the True Jesus to our culture if we don’t know/experience/be overwhelmed by the True Jesus.
I’d best be ending this, to spend some additional time with Him, in His Word. Care to join me? He’s waiting.
You went there. Dropped the Lady Gaga bomb. I never thought that I would have heard Dan Flynn and Lady Gaga in the same sentence. Even if that sentence is “Dan Flynn mentioned Lady Gaga on his blog”…..
Anywho, that third full paragraph is money. I think I’m going to rip it off, if you don’t mind.
Also of note, I hope staff meetings are going well, and that you guys have a blast as the new freshmen move in and the semester gets going! God bless!
