Both Jesus and Paul talked to the people using the people's language and culture, but with the same message, the GOSPEL. We need to do the same thing, using whatever methods will accomplish that--culturally relevant music, skits, sermon illustrations, and new churches--to grab attention, satisfy curiosities, encourage seeking, shatter stereotypes, and heal wounds. That's what Christ did. That's what his followers did. That's what we must do. Christ modeled how TO do it and also pointed out how NOT to do it (Pharisees). The CHURCH is not an exclusive club. It's all-inclusive. We just need to make sure that people know that it's more than "you can come if you want to". It's WE WANT YOU. GOD WANTS YOU.K.A.
