"Faith, Understanding, and Ministry: Gospel and Culture"
The church has more than once finds the need to contextualize the eternal Word to the changing world. Contextualization, however, has often resulted in the church adopting the ways of the world rather than transforming the world; the church been seen as too worldly. In the other extreme, many churches, in their attempts to maintain their purity, have lost their relevance in the world; the church has marginalized itself. Faced with these two extremes, we are once again reminded of Abraham Kuyper’s shout that, “There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!” In Apostle Paul’s word, Christ is to be preeminent over everything (Col. 1:18). We must ask ourselves, how can the church still maintain its purity yet always be relevant to the world?
If this is also a question you have been pondering, we invite you to come to NRECUS this year: “Faith, Understanding, and Ministry: Gospel and Culture.” Register yourself today!
