Florida Baptist Witness published an interesting article last week about the importance of both cultural relevance and sound theology. Nuggets from the article:

• “We have got to be known as the convention that believes in biblical fidelity and engaging people in the culture.”
• “We must contend for the faith and at the same time contextualize for the culture.”
• “The church is not the center of God’s plan but central to God’s plan.”
• “We have to recognize that there are cultural barriers, in addition to spiritual ones, that blind people from understanding the Gospel. Our task is to find the right way to break through those cultural barriers while addressing the spiritual and theological ones as well.”
