Church vs. Culture

It's kind of crazy how much I keep hearing this subject come up these days.  Is there anything that's off limits when we're trying to meet people where they're at and connect with culture in order to ultimately introduce them to Christ?  As long as we aren't sinning in the process, are we free to use whatever means possible to reach people for Jesus?  How do we relate to the world we live in and yet retain the standards that God has called us to live out?  Where is that line?  Are there boundaries that just shouldn't be crossed?  Recently, some notable pastors got together to discuss various issues within the church, and an interesting and thought provoking discussion on this very topic came up (view it here).

Yes, NewSpring Church opened an Easter service with AC/DC's "Highway to Hell", and all of Christendom apparently had a heartattack.  Why?  I'm not saying I agree or disagree...I'm just thinking it through.

Like Perry said in the first clip, if you take the song and have it stand on its own, there potentially could be an issue.  But that's just a starting point.  The rest of the service brings it home...the gospel is preached, and people are lead to Christ.  I love that he's not afraid to tell it like it is and proclaim the truth of Jesus. 

Church vs. Culture.  I don't know where the line is.  But in this instance, I really believe God was honored.  No matter how you slice it, Perry brings a crystal clear presentation of the gospel.  Jesus Christ is the only way to a full and abundant life here on earth, and He is the only way to heaven. 

“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
