3 things to ask about culture

There is much talk today about culture and what we should do with it. The obvious question to me is to first ask what how do you define the word culture? Is it people, their customs, they sub groups in them? I am not sure that there is one specific way to define culture to make everyone happy, what I do think is that we can work with things in culture and help give ourselves and families better direction.

Here are the three things: first we can accept what culture wants us to give it no thought and continue on ilife with out a care. Second we can reject it, determine that there is nothing good iit at all and run fast fromm it. Third we can redeem it look at it from Gospel perspective to see how the scripture might influence what we do.

I know this very general but when we look at life through a gospel lens it will give us one of these three options. Not everything is bad, or good, or needs to be changed. So let's seek Gods word for how life should be defined and what we see in culture and react to.
