"How to Survive a Cultural Crisis"

I found this article by Mark Dever, pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in DC, quite encouraging. As our culture seems to have put Christians more and more on the defensive, Dever's words are a helpful reminder of what a biblical perspective looks like. Below are his seven main points, but you really need to read the whole thing:

1. Remember that churches exist to work for supernatural change.

2. Understand that persecution is normal. 

3. Eschew utopianism.

4. Make use of our democratic stewardship.

5. Trust the Lord, not human circumstances.

6. Remember that everything we have is God's grace.

7. Rest in the certainty of Christ's victory.
