culture will always try to tame us into compromise and compliance with its fast-moving trends. Culture grinds against our values until either they crumble or we stand up and counter the cultural erosion. If we want to live a godly life in the middle of all this friction, we must determine our core convictions according to the Bible and know how to live them—before we face the weight of social pressure from the people around us. It’s always easier to resist the winds of change if your roots run deep in God’s truth.
