A Lesson From Elementary School: The Principle of Diffusion

21 Jan 2024

Do you remember your elementary school teacher demonstrating the
principle of diffusion? She took an eyedropper and squeezed a drop of red
food dye into a glass of clear water. In seconds the water was tainted with a
pinkish hue. To be a cultural Christian in your parents’ generation was to be
like a clear glass of water with one drop of red dye. In other words, secular
culture was not that different from Christian culture. That was before Internet
pornography, abortion on demand, explicit sex during prime-time TV, and the
like. To be a cultural Christian today is like having the whole bottle of red dye
poured in the glass.

Until every church disciples every man…
