"God is most clearly viewed when we understand Him as being culturally transcendent and always-already relevant and applicable to every person on the planet."
"It seems like the Holy Spirit is moving us as English-speaking worshippers into new places where we need to be challenging ourselves to worship in other languages and musical styles."
"There are 5,000+ ethnicities, 196 countries, and an estimated 6,500 spoken languages in the world today. With that much diversity, what is it that binds us all together?"
To me, one of the most important things to understand about reaching the culture nearest to you is to remember that God is sovereign and wants you to grow where He has planted you.
During the month of March, we will be discussing how we can address the culture around us (Near), how we can learn about worship from other cultures (Far), and how worship is a global reaction to a global God who connects us all (Global).
