Funny how all the sects produced by the so-called Reformation can actually use the word "orthodox" with a straight face when describing their theology. Well, I guess a heresy can be orthodox to its own principles.

The article states that the author "believes that Christians must forsake any hope of winning cultural acceptance if they want to affect the culture for the Lord's sake." How about cultural relevance? Jesus made no effort to be "accepted," but he was always dead-on relevant, with bullsye accuracy. That's why people responded to him, and things changed, everywhere he went. Believers will do the same in this era. God's people shape the culture by displaying God's wisdom and excellence in every arena of life. That's how God changed the world then, and it's how He is changing it now, through His people. Study the lives of Daniel in Babylon or Joseph in Egypt for prime examples. It still works.
