To What Are We Converting Post-Moderns?
After I graduated college I didn't hear as much about post-modernity. You know, the philosophical thought that is supposed to be driving the time we're living in right now. Truth is relative. Structure and facts are bad. Experience is good. Etc. But I do remember a lot about the discussions and classes I had discussing post-modernity. And I remember thinking this back then as well.
You don't convert a post-modern to become a modernist. You try to convert them to Christianity.
Post-modernism was always portrayed as completely bad, wrong, and sinful. And modernity was always portrayed as right and correct. Not so friends! Modernity is just as wrong as post-modernity. And post-modernity is just as right as modernism. There is right and wrong about both!
So when we talk about "ministering to post-moderns" or something like that, know that we're not trying to make post-modernists into modernists. We're trying to make them both into Christians!
