How is Pop Culture Changed?

"The beauty of pop culture is that while it may affect us, we still have a hand in creating and changing pop culture. You can shape the behavior, the likes and dislikes, and the values of these around you through ................" (Speech by one of the parliament minister about youth)

A godly culture is a result of godly belief and a heart transformed and subdued by the Word of God. Cultures changes on a daily basis, but the Word of God endures forever. As such the call to the Christian is not to subdue culture through influence, power and position (though there is nothing wrong with using these to be witnesses for Christ and proclaim the Truth). Changing of environment and practices will not changed the hearts of men.

For eg. a nation may have Christian roots and values, but such roots and values will be casted aside as the people of the nation create rules and legalizations that suit their hearts' desires or their pop culture. Unless their hearts are transformed by Jesus.

We can't subdue a lost person heart, but God can if we love them, share Christ with them, show them "Christian culture" (love, faith, hope, unity, generosity,etc).
