Stop Looking for This Culture to Validate Your Faith-Ain't Gonna Happen!

We live in antithesis.  It cannot be otherwise for us.  We do not live in synthesis.  There will be no reconciliation of opposites, and the emergence of a new synthesis.  We live in this world as those who have been made new by the Spirit of God, and yet we sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.  We live in trying times.  Violence is the new drug that permiates our lives.  Carnage and decay have become common place in our lives.
