Phillip Jensen has some interesting thoughts on the increasing adoption of practical atheism permeating Australian society.
“It is no sin to celebrate Easter as just another long weekend for personal leisure. We are not under any law about days or seasons or months. But we are unwittingly evangelising for atheism. We are advancing the cause of the gospel’s opponents. For atheism’s appeal is not the ideas but the lifestyle. We will not reach our society with the gospel of Jesus by giving priority to the pursuit of pleasure over the proclamation of the cross.”
“Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.” (Colossians 2:16-17)
