This video is worth seeing. Dick Staub is the author of the book ‘The cultural savvy Christian’. He refers in this vid to the various portrayals of Jesus in film, be they Jesus as the Divine as in ‘The greatest story ever told’, or Jesus the man as in ‘Godspell’. This is the first of five parts to the interview; the rest can be seen on Youtube .
It is true that Christians should be ‘culturally savvy’, that is culturally relevant, but also 'biblically savvy’, that is sharing the authentic message in the culture we find ourselves in. To do this we need wisdom, humility, sensitivity, love and most of all the Holy Spirit. AK
Aiming,though often failing 'to become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some'. Join with me in these reflections,discussions, videos and even humour about how we might become truly authentic in mission:Contextual yet Biblical:Passionate, but also Compassionate:In Word, as well as in Deed.The Spirit of Jesus within is calling each of his followers to reach out and fulfil the Missio Dei in a world of pain and need.
