Where do Bible-believing Christians fit in today's culture?
Do Christians have a place in today's culture? Perhaps we are to blend in with all other "religions." Wait! Are we not to be salt and light to a dying world?
Our question turns: how are we to bring light into this 21st century Western culture? Are we to stand on the street corners and proclaim damnation on all who do not attend church wearing dark suits? Surely not. The answer is to wear the world's mask, making sure that we are accepted in to its society. Then, at the last possible moment we admit that we are religious and hope that those around us might, possibly, maybe, want to become religious with us. Maybe a happy medium can be found? Perhaps there is an even better way.
These are the questions that we must ponder. Furthermore, we must not stop with pondering, we must press farther into the phase of engaging culture.
May God add His blessing and wisdom as we contemplate Culture and the Christian.

Can we ever become comfortable with simply keeping the mask off and far away from us?...never to be worn!
I am not at all sure what your asking (suggesting).
Further dialog, though, would be great!
Thanks for the post.
