The superficiality of our culture has permeated the mind-set of the Western church. The “cheap grace”1 that Bonhoeffer warned about has fostered an “easy- believism” that has allowed a superficial assent to Christianity that requires no real change or sacrifice. In a culture that advocates “safe sex,” we have similarly developed a “safe” form of Christianized religion wherein no one is responsible for his actions. There is no doubt that God hates this farcical masquerade of role-playing, for it is totally alien to the dynamic reality of the living Lord Jesus manifesting His life in receptive Christian people.
