November 11 - Cultural 'resistance' not 'relevance' is biblical approach to reach millennials, Benham says

Article: Misc. 
 

When Christian leaders scramble to make material "relevant" to millennials, they not only miss the point, they fail to be true to biblical teaching, David Benham told Christian Examiner. Believers should focus on being "resistant" to the things of the world, instead of being "relevant" to the world – said one of the popular Benham twins whose reality TV program "Flip it Forward" was cancelled by HGTV earlier this year – before it ever aired.
 
Benham made the statements at a time "culturally relevant" is in the news because of the fall of Mark Driscoll from leadership as pastor of Mars Hill Church, a Seattle megachurch he co-founded in 1996. Driscoll, a former leader of the "emerging church" movement and a controversial figure in the surge of neo-Calvinism among young Southern Baptists, was a champion for "cultural relevance" before resigning in October for charges related to misuse of church funds and bullying of members and staff. But it was his attempts at being relevant -- including profanity and sexualized sermons -- that raised concerns and controversy for at least a decade.
 
David Benham knows about resistance. The brothers came under attack for traditional biblical beliefs they hold in regards to sexuality, sanctity of human life, and religious liberty. These are principles the brothers had been honing over a lifetime, principles they studied each year when they read through the Bible, a commitment they made when they were 18.
