Cultural trends do affect ministry. That is not to say we should give in to them or change the message of the Gospel one iota. But we should know the times and speak God’s truth lovingly and appropriately to people at their point of need or want.  

In the selected articles this week you will read about various cultural trends and some of the ways they are impacting churches. You will also learn how to guide people through cultural conflict and ways to evangelize a changing culture.

For the glory of God,
Ray
Pr. 3:5-6
