Wow Great Statement from Brad Powell in “Change your Church for good. The art of sacred cow tipping.”
“The language we speak isn’t valuable. The truth is valuable. Yet many Christians are valuing and fighting to preserve the culture and language in which they found Christ more than the truth itself. As a direct and predictable result, they consider it compromise to make any attempt to change the language or culture of the church. They see relevance as compromise. But, the reality is that, by valuing language and culture more than the truth itself, they are the ones compromising. They are displaying greater value for their preferred culture, language, and traditions than for the people whom Jesus loves and died to save. In truth, they’re focusing on themselves rather than God, His will, or other people. For the sake of traditions, they are keeping the church from effectively communicating God’s truth to those who so desperately need it. This is compromise.”
