When it comes to being a culture changer, the question is are you a trend setter or a trend follower?  If you are a Christ centred trend setter, the world will have far less impact on you. 

Who did Jesus surround himself with? Did He become like them, or they like Him? Did the apostles become like those they ministered to or did those they ministered to become like them?

• By seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness
• Being salt and light - flavouring the world instead of the world flavouring us, being a light in the darkness instead of allowing our light to be quenched by the darkness
• Being not conformed to this world, but being transformed by the renewing of our minds (through the Word and by His Spirit). 
• Worshipping the father in spirit and truth
• Trusting the Lord with all our heart, leaning not on our own understanding, in all our ways, acknowledging Him and He will make straight our path
• Testing all things (by the Word of God and by His spirit) and holding fast to that which is good
• Walking by faith and not by sight, because without faith we cannot please God
• Putting on the new man, who according to God was created in righteousness and true holiness
• Pursuing peace with all, and holiness, without which no one shall see the Lord

If we do all of this, what will it look like? The great commission - "Go out into ALL the world (including every area of society) and preach the good news to ALL creation."

In the process how will we treat the bretheren? Praying for one another, encouraging, uplifting, admonishing, reproving, rebuking, and sharpening one another in the unity of love and in the faith.

God Bless you in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
