Our readings in this series are from the book, Understanding the Times Here is a brief excerpt from pages 13 and 14:
“The Christian’s purpose in an age which regards us as strangers is neither to avoid the epithet by our silence, nor to harrumph or inveigh against those who regard us as strange.
“Yet these seem to be the corners to which we have retreated in this secular age. We have all but left off wandering among unbelievers, engaging in conversation with a view to testifying and bearing witness to Jesus. And we readily vilify our secular age for being lost, without our trying to understand the worldviews that keep people in a state of unbelief.
“This is not what Jesus did, and it’s not what Paul did, either. The Christian’s task is neither to ignore the times nor to scorn them, but to understand our neighbors, their beliefs, fears, doubts, loves, and concerns, so that we might know how best to explain Christ and His Kingdom.”
