The Gospel: A Radical Collision with Culture

What happens when divine truth meets human autonomy? At its core, Christianity isn't about selective moral positions but about a complete worldview collision. The fundamental assertion "In the beginning, God" establishes an authority that challenges our deepest desire for self-determination. This claim-that an eternal Creator defines good, right, and just-confronts our natural rebellion against any authority beyond ourselves. Haven't we all felt this tension? We want to determine truth for ourselves rather than submit to external standards. This rebellion began in Eden and continues through modern moral relativism, where cultural preferences, not divine character, determine ethics. As Richard Dawkins puts it, we live in a universe with "no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference." Yet such relativism collapses when confronted with realities like sex trafficking or genocide. Without an objective moral standard, how can we condemn such practices? The gospel provides that eternal reference point-not as arbitrary rules but as reflections of God's unchanging nature. When we embrace this gospel, we experience an internal culture clash that transforms our understanding of everything from wealth to sexuality, from ethnicity to religious freedom.
