Counter-cultural, what does it Mean?

 



In my reading, I have come across the term, “counter-cultural” several times.


Cultural, in this sense, to me means the ways+ of our society and, yes, even our world.


As Christ-followers, we observe the habits and attitudes of people going more and more away from what God expects of us.


We are to stand for Christ. How can we do that?


1. We keep our word.

2. We honor our commitments when we can.

3. We choose our words carefully.

4. We refrain from doing or saying things that bring harm to others.

5. We honor Christ in how we live and how we talk.

6. We honor life and value the lives of others.

7. We monitor how we spend our time and resources.
