Which Christianity?
Guthrie Graves-Fitzsimmons, in an article posted by CNN on Thursday, January 24, 2019, declared that “Christianity’s future looks more like Lady Gaga than Mike Pence.” At stake, in Graves-Fitzsimmons’ mind, was which Christian self-identity will win out in the end. It is no wonder that, in our current culture, Christianity is not defined by God’s word, but by man’s self-identification and popular opinion. This is not new to those who know a little about the history of Christianity. The massive influence of Christianity on western civilization has led many seeking power or putting forth policies to claim they bear the banner of Christianity in their pursuits. It is the weaponization of the Christian label and it has confused many, disgusted many, and has been wielded by many with disasterous effect. Providence Church is committed to the glory of God and his revelation of himself in his word. We don’t get our understanding of truth from the polls or the loudest voice. We get it from God’s word. The future of religion may be squarely on Lady Gaga’s side, but the future of biblical Christianity is securely on the side of those who believe the Scriptures are God’s inspired, infallible and inerrant word.
