Paul picked out a statue dedicated to “The Unknown God” and begins to preach.

Paul was able to spot the Christian resonance in the midst of all the idolatry, he was insightful enough to see that God had gone before him and prepared an intelligent platform from which to speak about God the maker of Heaven and Earth.

The world around us is full of such resonance; we just need to find it. I believe that Christ has gone before us into all the world and we just need to hear Him and see Him. Yet many Christians and churches have retreated from today’s culture. Instead of incarnating themselves into the this exciting world they become defensive and hurl abuse, get angry at people, picket institutions or worse still go into hiding, have prayer meetings and keep separate from the vulgar herd. They spend more time rebuking the Devil than they do exalting Christ in the midst of popular culture.

Many simply lose the ability to relate to people around us. Others feel intimidated by people and don’t know what to do much less what to say. The challenge is to not only ACT like Christians but to REACT like Christians becoming Christ to our modern 21st Century world.

A shocking reality is that this retreat from TODAY has led to the stagnation of churches so much so that many of them have lost their relevance and appeal to a world in desperate need for a Savior! Their Jesus is scared of the big bad world. Their brand of religion has no answers for the world today; this church has become silent, sullen, reactionary and angry.

Remember pop culture is indisputably the most extensive and influential theological training system in the world today! Engage with TODAY, Jesus promised to be with us even until the end of the ages. Believe to see His presence, search for His resonance and check out His finger prints all over today's culture.

Find the "unknown god" in the midst of your world, communicate and engage with people; start a conversation. Jesus is there and simply needs to be found by us so we can lead others to HIM!
