I know that I seem to be linking through to just about everything these guys put out there, but “Out Of Ur” has posted another great article, this time by Mike Sares, pastor of “Scum of the Earth” church (what a name). But I was struck by this quote:
Boomer Christians tend to divide the world into three categories: the holy, the secular, and the downright sinful….. The new generation of Christians, however, tends to see only two categories: the holy and the sinful. This means things that previously fell into the “secular” category are now open for consumption and experimentation without judgment.
It’s an interesting proposition, and certainly an interesting concept. I must admit, I’ve noticed my own worldview shifting towards removing the notion of secular from my life – which pushes you to consider where the “holiness” is in the “secular” things you do, or whether or not they are just sin. Worth a thought.
