In the past couple of days, I have had some very interestingly inspired conversations on life, philosophy and ultimately the balance between culture and, what some may dub as, "Church Culture." I personally find separating the two very difficult to do when you consider just how human we all are and our inability to
truly make distinctions in our convictions to church and society. And that isn't a problem for me. We, as human beings, are unable to separate our convictions in our personal life from our convictions in our public life. When it comes down to it, I believe what I believe and I see that in how I live my life. These recent discussions have been very debate-style and have revealed something to me that was present in my thought process but maybe not to the understanding that it is now.
Americans especially, have this innate desire to be right.
I have some thoughts on this, but I would like to see what you think about this statement. Is there truth to this statement? I have my reasons and philosophies as to why it is true, but what about you? Why is it true? Why isn't it true? Is it only encapsulated inside Americans? What do you think? Let's get a conversation started on this one!
I have another post coming on this one... but want to get outside opinion first. Let's go!!
