Tools to Survive as a Christian in Our Postmodern Culture

The basic tools we have as Christians to combat the culture around us have not changed. Just like the absolute truth of God's Word and His promises, the tools of our warfare are the same as those the first-century Christians used.

One of those tools is awareness of the times in which we live. All the warnings the New Testament writers passed on to their readers about resisting the pressures of their culture reminded them of the negative culture around them.

Notice Paul's warning to the church at Ephesus: "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.

"Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

"And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints" (Ephesians 6:10-18).

The basic building blocks of our faith do not change. They remain the same: prayer, Bible study, fasting (our reminder to stay close to God), meditation (critical thinking about God's way and the culture in which we live) and fellowship (Christian communication).

John wrote the first-century Church to remind them, and us, of the core value to love God first above this world and its cultural pulls.

"And I heard another voice from heaven saying, 'Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues'" (Revelation 18:4).

Notice John warns that we must come out of the worldview of our culture and continue to maintain a consistent biblical view. We must view the culture around us with a biblical worldview, rather than through the distorted prism of a postmodern worldview.

From the December 2007 United News article Do You Have a Postmodern or a Biblical Worldview?
