What is Culture?
The word “culture” is one of the most used and least defined words that we have, especially for Christians. Many Christians define “culture” as all the secular, bad things in the world. All of the things in the world that we should avoid because they aren’t glorifying to God. Well this is a bad way to define the world culture.
The easiest way to define culture is just “what humans do to make the world out of the world around them.” This is not inherently bad, and isn’t the problem. The problem is the direction that people take culture, if it is not taken toward the glory of God.
A big problem with defining culture as just all the bad things in the world is that it makes us fear and withdraw from the world around lest we be corrupted. This is problematic because God calls us to be a part of culture and to be culture creators.
