Post modern world and biblical truths!
The greatest challenge for Gods people has always been not to conform to the surrounding culture! This is not a new issues! Ex 23:34; lev 20:22-23; debut 12:30; her 10:2; un 15:19; 17:14-16; rom 12:2; 1 for 5:9-10 jams 1:27; 1 in 2:15
Our culture is found in God.
Postmodernism? It is hard to define because it is based on multiple realities. Postmodern culture is based on individuals finding their own reality.
How we got here? 1960's era had the biggest shift in cultural philosophy. The greatest virtue of postmodernism is tolerance!
Characteristics of postmodernism: no absolute truth, moral realism, reject boundaries and authority, about the present (here and now).
Positives: reminds us to help those who are disadvantaged.
Genesis 3:1-
God is always working and his mission is to use us to reach a lost world. God will never allow culture to keep him from accomplishing his mission!
Acts 17:23; 17; 28 Paul studied and connected with the community around him!
How to reach a postmodern world? Engage in your community! Show commonality (God has championed many of the goals of the postmodern world to help the marginalized)! Jesus was a champion for diversity, woman's rights, financial inequality, the weak...etc!
1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never fails!
