Culture at a Crossroads

The beginning of the twenty-first century has revealed tectonic shifts in Western culture. The marginalization of Christianity in the public square, the growth of religious pluralism, and the pervasive effects of individualism, narcissism, and consumerism have left many churches, pastors and faithful Christians uncertain about their place and purpose in this emerging post-Christendom culture. We believe this ministry has been raised up to confront these conditions within the Body of Christ that have contributed to these detrimental “shifts.”

Failure of 20th Century Methods

The 20th century methods of reform and cultural engagement have simply failed. Mounting evidence shows that religious, social and cultural movements of the future will be small, streamlined and focused on shifting individual choices by introducing and encouraging the adoption of new ideas and new ways of thinking. For the Center for Christ & Culture that means recovering historic Christian truths in a postmodern context—it means pressing “good” ideas over and against “bad” ideas beginning with the Church and how it understands and executes its mission in the world. 

Ministry on an Amazing Scale
 
God continues to graciously expand the ministry influence of the Center for Christ and Culture beyond anything we could have imagined. My weekly commentaries reach more than 4 million readers, more than 20,000 people have taken our Cultural Apologetics Course online, and I'm speaking coast-to-coast and making many national media appearances.

In 2009, Navpress, published my book entitled Uncompromised Faith: Overcoming Our Culturalized Christianity along with a study guide, and small group leader’s instructions. In all, the Lord is using the research, writing and teaching of this ministry to challenge the spiritual apathy and cultural indifference of the church in America.

No Quick Fix  

 We know that cultural change is both complex and long-term. There are no simple solutions to the many challenges the Church faces in our postmodern, post-Christian culture.

That is why the Center for Christ & Culture is so critically needed in our society today. We must counter bad ideas with good ideas -- biblical thinking that empowers individual choices -- resulting in personal renewal that will spark social transformation.

Your Kingdom Opportunity 

 With your partnership and by God’s grace, we can help the Church recover the value of ideas and how they relate to the present and future effects in our culture. As the Body of Christ on earth it is our sacred obligation to take “every thought captive, making [them] obedient to Christ.” Join me in this incredible work!
