The Gospel is Cultural

"The Gospel creates a culture. It is called the church." (Tim Keller).

True. But "the gospel means we will do everything differently. It makes us relate to the culture around us differently."

"We often miss the communal aspects of the gospel."

"The Gospel tells us to engage with out culture but not to accomodate to our culture. The dangers are on both sides. We must neither withdraw nor sell out." (paraphrased)

"The radical gospel is changing us into a counter-culture for the common good, loving those outside the church. We are to be deeply engaged with our culture but deeply different."

"The gospel is the basis of a worldview that affects every area of life and how you do everything."
