Affecting Culture - Tim Keller

Greg Wood just shared this with me from Tim Keller -

May 2006 Reform and Resurge conference,

Session 6.

Here is his 6-fold model of how to affect the culture & rightly relate Christ to the culture:

1. We need to have more Christians living long-term in cities

2. with a deeper grasp of the gospel

3. who are creating dynamic counter-cultures inside the city

4. integrating faith with work

5. pouring themselves out sacrificially for the common good of the city

6. contextualizing (the message of the gospel in understandable

language).
