Cultural undercurrents are always shifting. What is morally acceptable in one generation can find itself condemned in the next. And vice versa. However, truth is not a popularity contest ( Is Truth Relative? ). What does this mean for us as Christians? It means we will need to have the courage of our convictions and stand firm when clear teachings of Scripture fall out of step with our culture. It also means we must train the next generation to be ready to own their faith. In this video D.A. Carson, John Piper, and Tim Keller reflect upon what it means to be on the right and wrong side of history.
“As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ” – Eph. 4:14-15
