Culturally Savvy Christian

July 30, 2007 | Filed Under books |

God’s transforming presence will change us, not so we can transform the world, but so we can experience God’s presence more deeply and be restored to God’s image more completely. When fully human people do God’s will, they move into the neighborhood as a loving, transforming presence, like Jesus did. If there is to be a renaissance of faith and culture, and I pray that there will be, it will be a by-product of God’s transforming presence in our individual lives. Cultural enrichment proceeds from enriched individuals, and there is but one aim for our transformation: God intends to transform us from fallen humans to fully human.
