Contributed by Tim Patrick on May 22, 2008

Culture Shock

Contributed by Dan Cormie on Jun 1, 2008

Was Jesus culturally relevant? Should we try to be or is it a better "witness" if we distance ourselves from "worldliness"?

Dakota Community Church June 1, 2008 Culture Shock I don’t know if I am just too easily amused or what; but I find the study of people, relationships, and group dynamics to be simply fascinating.

Christian Love

Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Oct 26, 2009
