Don’t Have it Your Way, Against Consumer Spirituality

How should someone formulate his (or her) view of the world? In an article by Brett McCracken for The Gospel Coalition, he documents the emergence of what he calls “metamodern” Christianity. This is not “modern”, meaning dedicated to an abstract idea of truth and pointed toward “progress”. It is also not “post-modern”, dedicated to feelings and dismissing notions of truth in favor of viewing the world as only consisting of power dynamics. It’s somewhere between the two. In contrast, christians should be a people dedicated to God almighty, to loving Him first and others second and seeking to live lives of sacrifice and love after our Savior Christ who gave himself for us.
