Gospel, Culture And Purity

Just came across this article by Mark Buchanan. How do Christians model their sexual ethic in a corrupted an impure society? Two dangers: the conservative church can be like Jonah, only interested in angry denunciation and taking no pleasure in repentance. Or the liberal church can be like Esther before her awakening, fitting in with the culture, not realising it is about to ambush. A better model is Daniel. He had clarity and integrity in working out which aspects of pagan culture weren’t a problem, and which were the places to say ‘no’ at all costs.
