CHRISTIANITY & CULTURE

'We do not need more political, moral, and cultural crusades. Instead, what we need are "salty" Christians whose robust faith and discipleship shape the way they think, live, and exercise their gifts, training and wisdom in their callings. We do not need more churches called to active duty in the culture wars. What we need are more churches that are resalinization instead of desalinization plants, churches that are dedicated to making disciples who are not only forgiven and renewed in Christ but also well taught and actually active in the world - in their families, neighbourhoods, schools, workplaces, and volunteer organizations, loving their neighbors through their vocational excellence as well as through their witness to Christ.'
Michael Horton, The Great Commission, p.242.
