The Awkward Questions

 

It is curious to start identifying and understanding how many things in life have been influenced or formed by Protestantism. The use of money, the approach to employment, the form of government, marriage. Romance/emotions/dating, the raising of children, appearance/fashion/modesty, the use of entertainment, housing/family connectivity, the centrality of the church, and the methodology of/labeling of crime / sin.

But one needs to step back and, with an understanding of the theological flexibility that exists in the Protestant/American Evangelical world, question the validity of these relatively new beliefs and practices. We should be asking the question, “What has the Church always believed and taught in this regard?”
