The add council has an add that ask the questions, a choice between this or that, this or that. You are choosing between a 200 year old tree or clean water…etc. There can be no right answer; you loose either way.
I would like to propose a question somewhat like those, but it does have a right answer. Truth is truth or it is all false; there is no in between. Given a choice, would you choose your church members to be culturally relevant or people full of wisdom? You see, you can not have both. I have found after being in the same church many, many years that once the body embraces relevance then those with wisdom leave or are asked to leave. Relevance is not based in truth but in culture. Wisdom leaves because it can not tolerate foolishness. Somewhere along the road we as a church visible have lost the understanding of not being conformed to this world. Today’s relevance does not embrace Be ye Holy for I am Holy any more.
Given a choice, which would you choose?
