Today, Christianity is widely rejected, not because it was critically examined and found wanting, but merely because it claims to be true. Increasingly, American academics regard claims of objective and universal truth as intolerant and uninformed. What accounts for this bizarre and growing consensus? It's called postmodernism. Postmodern ideology rejects the authority of reason and views all claims to objective truth to be dangerous. For these enormously influential thinkers, truth is political and created by "belief communities," not discovered rationally and objectively. That the academic community is experiencing a major ideological revolution is beyond doubt. Like all intellectual movements, postmodernism deeply affects the broader culture. In this article, I will show how popular religious views mirror academic postmodernism, then clarify the challenge of this new consensus for the church.

One of the most helpful things a Christian can do is write out his personal testimony. This exercise will help you think through in your own mind what God has done in your life and will prepare you to share your story simply and clearly with others. Sharing how you became a Christian is one of the best ways of witnessing. It is particularly helpful in presenting Jesus Christ to relatives and close friends, usually the most difficult people to whom to witness.

These 5 principles are the most common principles involved in harmonization, but some harmonization issues involve other, less common principles.

Christians’ relations to the world, money, position, and career involve judgment calls and gray areas. However, these are also areas where scripture teaches ethical content, either explicitly or by implication. Questions of ethics should be settled by biblical authority whenever possible, and by wise deliberation over possible dangers and options where scripture does not speak directly.

Make these typical comments into flash cards, and take turns reading one to a member of the group. Just like in a regular conversation, they have 3 seconds to say something that is: Not a lie, not stupid, not offensive, and keeps the conversation going After one tries his hand at comment, let others suggest alternative approaches. Then try another comment. Teach people to ask questions in return, rather than always trying to answer questions.

Dennis McCallum and Jose Flores

At Dwell, we define the church in a way that is incompatible with this declaration, regardless of whether or not we view Catholic doctrine as sufficiently close to ours to warrant some level of cooperation. At Dwell, we would not sign a declaration that any church institution (including our own) lies entirely within the circle of the Body of Christ. At the same time, we would not deny the true Christianity of particular individuals within churches which may not teach evangelical doctrine. Therefore, in our view, the command to cultivate unity would apply only to that part of any church composed of people truly spiritually reborn. This is why we have not agreed to sign onto this accord.
