It’s hard to know where to begin when it comes to describing the culture in which we are immersed.  We are as much Modern as we are Post-modern.  Modernity has taken root as it pertains to urbanization, economics, individualism and science.  Post-modern in that we hunger for relationships while simultaneously making less long term commitments.  The American Dream has allowed us to enjoy unprecedented affluence, causing us to be loved and despised around the world. 

The LIE is alive as many are living lives that are…

Lost

Isolated

Empty

Then there is that original American invention known as “race.”  The church is spending a lot of time trying to answer the question, “What does it mean to be Post-Modern?”  When we have not even addressed what it means to be “Post-Movement.”  Civil rights that is.

The

church

of

Christ

faces many challenges in

America

, we are losing ground…but our Lord said that the gates of hell will not prevail.  That assumes that we have discerned how to reach the culture in which we have been placed. 

The average follower of Christ needs a Domestic Missiology.
