Culture


     On Wednesday, we took the opportunity to begin to examine the culture that we allow to be part of who we are. We defined "culture" by the games that we play, the TV and movies that we watch, the music that we listen to, the things that we read, the friends that we hang out with, and the web that we surf. The students were encouraged to begin to examine each of their own lives and see if culture was having a negative impact on who they were. In evaluating this, we asked them to answer three questions. 1) Why do I watch/play/listen/hang out with _________________? 2) Does this bring me closer to God or draw me further away? 3) How does this affect me?
     Our basis for the night came from several different Scripture. Romans 12:2 (Message), Philippians 4:8 (TNIV), 1 Corinthians 6:12 (TNIV), and Proverbs 25:26 (TNIV).
