Preaching with the Culture in View (Session III)

Speakers: Albert Mohler Year: 2006 Session: Main Session

Ministers are called to analyzed our culture and to be equipped to engage it faithfully. It is dangerous for one to assume that culture does not affect people. While the culture cannot be the main concern, it is not meaningless. The central purpose to know culture is to preach the gospel, not to recover the culture.
