Rediscovering Discipleship: Making Jesus’ Final Words Our First Work

by Robby Gallaty

And this kind of cultural influence is still happening today! Some worship sports teams at the expense of God. Their lives are ruled by athletics, whether in the form of travel ball, high school football games, or rigorous collegiate training schedules. Nighttime television is littered with choice words and sexual innuendos. PG – 13 movies used to be suitable for thirteen-year-olds, but no longer. News outlets have hijacked the dissemination of information and spin an event into an opportunity to push an agenda. Discerning truths from lies is increasingly difficult. Our kids are being taught that the world began, not with the bang of God’s Word, but by the grandest display of cosmic happenstance ever conceived. They are learning that nothing is absolute, so “live and let live” is the best way to coexist. Biblical accounts have been reduced to children’s stories.
