It's not that there's no room for culture, but I have to be prepared to protect myself against any rotting influence.
Just, what I can make from this, is that the world preaches to me and rest of us ever louder than the church. We don't realise, because we like the message, so we are not going to complain about being prescribed moral and lifestyle ideals that we already adhere to. The world speaks about our life as it is, in agreement for all that goes on. Where it differs, it differs comfortably enough to aspire to and adopt as our own. On the other hand, when Christ speaks into our lives, he gives no concessions to what is already there - if he is to be there in our life, then the rest of what makes up our life has to be prepared to ship out, and that's why it seems that those who speak of Jesus are more preachy than others - in reality, it just goes against the general way of human thinking. I admit, it grates on me as well, God's word, and its no surprise, as the bible says,
“my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the LORD.
He's bound to be different to me in boundless ways, for he is a boundless God, and I am clearly not. I am as sinful as God is Holy, as simple as God is wise, as proud as God is humble and as wayward as he is loyal. If I find anything lacking in him, then I prove my faultfinding faulty, just as Job did.
