YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN

I want to keep this short so here's the main question. Has culture gotten to the point where it solves our struggle of trying to contextualize Scripture to accommodate the culture? That's the question. Here's what I'm asking.

It has been a popular method of Christian culture to copy, emulate, steal, lift, flat out ripoff certain cultural characteristics and place a Christian spin on them. See this, this, this, this, and this for examples. Doug Wilson said, "Whatever the world can do, we can do five years later and not as well." (I have no idea who Doug Wilson is but I thought it was a good quote).

While I would agree that not all of this technique is bad and that I've used similar methods myself... what are we going to do when our culture gets so bad that we are forced to be creative ourselves. Certain aspects of culture are already there but by in large we still have a good pool to pull from.

I doubt you'll see a Youth Camp this summer entitled "My Life Would Suck Without You..." or a sermon series named "10 reasons Why I Kissed a Girl and Liked it" (unless of course it was a men's series on pornography).

Maybe I'm reading this too black/white. I'm not one who typically likes to compartmentalize my Christianity into secular vs sacred (although I am guilty from time to time). However, is the "secular" culture solving the age-old contextualization problem for us? Is the culture getting so outrageous that we can no longer steal its ideas without condemning ourselves simultaneously?

Just asking...
