If we disregard the things that have supported our culture, and don’t permit the culture’s assumptions even to be spoken out loud, people are left entirely on their own, with nothing other than their personal judgment to guide them.

It really doesn’t matter what the event is. It can be a positive and uplifting event like a marriage, a birth, or a graduation. It can also be a defeating and disappointing event – like a divorce, a death, or an illness. Connect it to the person and work of Jesus, and it can change the world.
