One of the gravest dangers to the Christian faith
One of the gravest dangers to the Christian faith is its wholesale appropriation of the larger culture. When this happens, the citizens of those places cannot recognize the difference between their culture, their nation and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This enables the possibility of churches standing for positions that are in complete opposition to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The churches acceptance and approval of the Nazi party form one obvious example from recent history. Another was the system of Apartheid in South Africa. Author Alan Paton, a South African himself, shares how this took place in his culture:
I live in a country [South Africa in the days of apartheid] where most of the white citizens would claim to be Christians, would feel it to be their supreme duty to preserve their Christian civilisation, and sometimes, in moments of stress, would call it ‘White civilisation’. Many of them believe that God placed them in southern Africa to carry out a ‘civilising mission’. Most of them hold firmly to the belief that this civilising mission can only be carried out by the separation from one another of all racial groups.
