We pause in our study of the Sermon on the Mount to explore the dangers of mixing the teachings of Christ with the culture norms of today’s society. Here is an excerpt of the video transcript which has much food for thought. I encourage you to watch the entire video.
Before we continue our adventures in our study of the Sermon on the Mount, I want to share with you important information about the dangers of mixing the teachings of the Word with current cultural norms. Cultures continually change their accepted practices because of social pressure which is greatly enhanced today because of the widespread use of social media venues through the Internet, cell phones & the endless parade of apps.
The True Church is to be the agent of the LORD to shape & mold the precepts of our culture to maintain our moral compass pointing to True North—Our King Jesus. When the Church withdraws from this responsibility, the agents of darkness infiltrate the societal norms and cause great damage to the nations of the world. This is not a new phenomenon it is a recurring cycle that the LORD wants to break over HIS people.
I hope you will use the scriptural references below the video to do your own study of the High Places. The Spirit will guide you and lead you to the verses that will inspire you.
