How is "Cancel Culture" Impacting Our Biblical World View - Part Two

How is "Cancel Culture" Impacting Our Biblical World View - Part Two

Monday, June 27, 2022

By Pat and Andee Cooper

Morally, there’s been a subtle yet very distinct shift in moral ethos within the past 5 decades. We have moved from a “Counter Culture” to a “Cancel Culture.” Quoting from Wikipedia, the Counter Culture of the 1960s was an anti-establishment cultural phenomenon that developed throughout much of the Western world between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s. Its cultural platform was relatively straightforward: The aggregate movement gained momentum as the U.S. Civil Rights Movement continued to grow, and, with the expansion of the American Government’s extensive military intervention in Vietnam, would later become revolutionary to some. As the 1960s progressed, widespread social tensions also developed concerning other issues, and tended to flow along generational lines regarding human sexualitywomen's rightstraditional modes of authority, experimentation with psychoactive drugs, and differing interpretations of the American Dream Today’s America is notably under attack – both from without and from within. As we asked in Part 1, how do we - as believers in a Creator God, stand up to confront today’s culture in a way that “in meekness, instructing those that oppose themselves, if God peradventure, will give them repentance to the knowledge of the Truth?” II Timothy 2:25.
