Week 9 Classmate response to harmony

Harmony mentioned that the countercultural model was a “tool for evangelism.”  I would sincerely agree and take it one step further by adding that the countercultural model at its purest is evangelism.  It calls for one to go into the culture, and make disciples within that culture.  It doesn’t call for us to take people “out of the world.”  This is the prayer that Jesus prayed for his disciples.  The countercultural model is a serious method of both engaging culture and presenting the Good News of Jesus.  Many times we forget that some aspects of culture are by nature opposed to the Good News, and have to be prophetically challenged in love.
