" I’ve become convinced that one of the reasons we have not seen more balanced cultural engagement “near the center” is that many of us are not choosing our Christ and culture model in the right way. Instead of looking at Scripture, the culture, and our own gifts and calling, we tend to form our views in visceral reactions to the behavior of other Christians. In other words, we stand here and not there because those people are there and not here. "
