Church: A Countercultural Community
The church has often pursued relevance at the expense of reverence. However, the church was meant to be a counterculture, where “life to the full” is visible and welcomed to all.
The church’s countercultural identity can be further categorized in several ways:
- Countercultural Presence
- Countercultural United Family
- Countercultural Change
- Countercultural Mission
A commitment to pursuing holiness – only made possible through the blood of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit – is a critical mark of the countercultural church.
John 17:18,23 (NLT) - Just as you sent me into the world, I am sending them into the world... I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.
