Be worried when you stop asking those questions. When we do not give credence to the importance of context, we run the risk of an trying to share a relevant Gospel in irrelevant ways. And who does that help? Be well! Great post. Be worried when you stop asking those questions.

That’s like saying the walking wounded made it all the way to the hospital. I don’t know about all the collective shame our Asian culture professes, but I feel the same way I did when my wife told me yesterday of a doctor not calling the right diagnosis which led to an eleven year-old dying before he had to. Seung Hui Cho died before he ever got a glimpse of why he was created. And he was willing to kill others because he didn’t see any value in them or himself.

]]> Comment on Loving your neighbor according to the HUP…? by djchuang http://paulmkim.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/loving-your-neighbor-according-to-the-hup/#comment-16 djchuang Fri, 23 Mar 2007 23:07:39 +0000 http://paulmkim.wordpress.com/2007/03/17/loving-your-neighbor-according-to-the-hup/#comment-16 The HUP is not the best way to fulfill God's commandment to love thy neighbor; God wants us to love those who are different from ourselves, as well as those who are like ourselves. I think He wants us to love all kinds of others. As for how culture and theology relate-- that's a very big question, and a good one that needs to be wrestled with more thoroughly and thoughtfully. In some ways, theology can transform and redeem culture in areas where it falls short of God's Kingdom ideals, and there are also parts of culture that can be celebrated for being an expression of God's creativity.

The duty to be "true to one's own heart" is a prevalent theme in a lots of kids moveis and even more in adult films.

It becomes a challenge to not develop a competitive marketplace mentality wherein you have to showcase what the "buyers" want in order to be funded, especially when ministry looks so different than people expect that it should.
