The Power of Christian Culture: The Voice

Christian t-shirts. Christian music. Christian books. Christian stores. Christian things. There is a Christian subculture - a Christian bubble, if you will - that we have formed around us. Some would argue that this Christian culture is inevitable because it just comes with the territory. But, no matter if it is formed on purpose or just naturally, there is a Christian culture.

And this Christian culture is incredibly interesting. It is something that does not get a lot of attention even though it affects the lives of countless Christians and non-Christians. Nobody is really in charge of it even though everyone contributes to it. The entire Christian culture is something that helps define the Church and adds to its reputation. It says something about Christianity.

And that's where things get interesting.

Christian culture has power. Christian culture has a voice. No matter how much it would deny it or pretend that it did not have influence - it does. No matter if it does not think that it is saying anything - it is. Christian culture has power and a voice.

But the question is this: What is the powerful voice of Christian culture saying?
