The Church Series, Part Four: Against the World, For the World: The Church as Culture and the Church in Culture / Ken Myers

Summary: Ken Myers, Host and Producer of Mars Hill Audio Journal, concludes the Church series with a message titled "Against the World, For the World: The Church as Culture and the Church in Culture". Ken Myers speaks from the book of James and the relationship that should exist between Christians and the world. He explains that, among Christians, the noun "culture" should imply the verb "engage." He addresses the question "when the Church engages culture, what are the goals for culture and for the Church?" Using the epistle of James, Ken Myers explains the kinds of commitments Christians need to make if they are to love the world but not to be of the world: knowledge of the Word of truth, endurance forged in the testing of the faith, self control because the demands of love are high, and wisdom to discern the need of the world around us.
