Thanks for reading and for commenting. I...George,<br /><br />Thanks for reading and for commenting. In re-reading the original sermon myself, I might now add that Christians are cultural and philosophical resident aliens within any worldview: premodern, modern, postmodern, or what is yet to follow. One of the beauties of the gospel is its power to subsume any culture.<br /><br />Let me quote from Diognetus:<br /><br />"Christians are indistinguishable from other men either by nationality, language or customs. They do not inhabit separate cities of their own, or speak a strange dialect, or follow some outlandish way of life. Their teaching is not based upon reveries inspired by the curiosity of men. Unlike some other people, they champion no purely human doctrine. With regard to dress, food and manner of life in general, they follow the customs of whatever city they happen to be living in, whether it is Greek or foreign. And yet there is something extraordinary about their lives. They live in their own contries as though they were only passing through."<br /><br />Again, thanks for your comment. I will take some time to peruse your website; it looks quite interesting.<br /><br />Peace of Christ,<br /><br />JohnJohn Roophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13056026272125506770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263580846537304366.post-14526804848252358672010-01-23T09:43:50.336-05:002010-01-23T09:43:50.336-05:00i just came by to say i agree. well said. although...i just came by to say i agree. well said. although, i am into postmodernism, i also want something for the future as well...but as a postmodern, it might take me a while to get there...lol thanks for the thoughts...<br /><br />http://theloverevolution.org.ukgeorgehttp://travelersnote.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
