The current of modern Christian leadership flows strong and steady toward adopting worldly principles and practices in order to gain a hearing with the world. Something like, Go to Rome and do what the Romans do in order to get the Roman citizens out of Rome. One problem (among many) with this approach is that if we appear to be Roman citizens ourselves, we lose any hope of convincing the Romans that there is something wrong with being Roman. But, more importantly, it is contrary to the express command of the Lord of the Church. This article by John MacArthur is worth your time to pause and ponder.
May the Lord Jesus grant us the backbone to stick out like sore thumbs in modern Rome.
