I'm reading a great book right now called 'The Fine Line' by Kary Oberbrunner. It's a great read about culture and church relevance based on John 17 where Jesus calls us to be in the world but not of the world.
Here's a taste.
Luke 10:30-35 tells us the story of the good Samaritan, a story that many of us have heard most of our lives. Basically, this guy get robbed and beaten and left for dead on the side of a road. Both a priest and a Levite (Scripture expert) pass the man by but a Samaritan (usually the bad guy in stories) riding by on his donkey, stops and takes care of the man. The only relevant person to the injured guy was the Samaritan.
To sum it up, crudely; Just like the Samaritan, we'll only be relevant when we get off our proverbial $%& (insert 3 letter word for donkey) and love people.
It's a good book. You should read it.
