Relevance


It is possible to be relevant to culture without compromising the "Law of Christ".  Traditions can be broken, but God's Law must not be broken.  The timeless truths in the Bible still apply today.

We use many different methods to appeal to the high-tech, fast-paced world of today.  But we should never ever change the message we present.  Christ still died for our sins, he still was buried in a borrowed tomb, and he still rose from the dead on the third day.  The Holy Ghost was still poured out on the day of Pentecost.  The believers still continued daily in the apostle's doctrine.  Jesus still commands us to "be ye holy for I am holy".  We must not water down the Truth and this Christian lifestyle to make it more palatable to the "general public".  And even though the gospel is offensive to those who have not obeyed it, the way we present the gospel should not be offensive.

So we should make every effort to be involved in our communities.  We can Facebook, Twitter, Stream Online Worship Services, build websites, help the needy, etc.  But, we should never lose the original doctrine which was taught by the apostles: Jesus Christ and him crucified.  Christ in us, the hope of Glory!
