When, as you labor in a place, you see that the scales are beginning to fall from men's eyes . Agree with the people on every point where you can consistently do so. A good example of contextualization is found in Acts 15 . This incident is known as the Jerusalem Council and presents an example for the church today. At Pentecost, when the gospel was presented in cultural forms appropriate to each group present, God showed that He respects our variety of cultures and languages.
Cultural practices vary from country to country.
In some parts of the world, it is unthinkable to attend church without wearing shoes. In other parts of the world, church members remove their shoes before entering the sanctuary. Other practices include what color churches are painted, the wearing of ties, sitting on the floor, and which musical instruments may be used. We may vary in such practices, but we must agree on the essential elements of Christ's gospel. Explain your answer.
