We cross some lines but not nearly enough and not nearly powerfully enough. I wish I could tell you how we might change this. I pray that the Lord would show us. I want you to pray too. For it is not possible, it simply isn't, to forsake culture.
Culture is inevitable.
We can't all suddenly sing like we are in a black church and hope that blacks would flock to us because they love our music. They would think us ludicrous and they would be right. We cannot suddenly begin to add folk dancing to our worship when we would all be utterly unable to appreciate it, so alien to our experience as it is. Nor, I think, is that what is being taught in Acts 10. It is precisely not that Jews and Gentiles must embrace a common culture, but that they must respect the culture of one another and absolutely refuse to allow it to prove a barrier between them.
