Christianity Isn’t About the Culture War — It’s About Following Christ

Being a Christian isn’t about debating issues in the public square.

Somewhere in the last 50 years it became about issues instead of a Person.

It’s about following Christ and being in such a close relationship with Him that you’re doing everything you can to be just like Him.

Others from all corners of that public square may notice how you live your life, and want to know, what’s up with that?

That’s your cue to tell them the story of what He has done for you.

People argue with theology. Nobody can argue with your story.

We don’t “convert” anyone with our understanding of the issues.

We tell our story.

Seek after Him and tell others.

That’s the workflow.

If we just focused on this, the town square would look vastly different.

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

‭‭— Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬ ‭NLT‬‬

“I don’t know whether he is a sinner,” the man replied. “But I know this: I was blind, and now I can see!”

— ‭‭John‬ ‭9‬:‭25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God made this personal for me. Here’s that story.
