1. What are the three different ways the early church has responded to the social order in which it lived?

We are to enter into our culture, but to rise above it. We are refuse to comprimise Christ to the society around us. Third is the attempt to transform a culture. These are three different ways in which Christians have tried to reach the culture around them. Each has its unique attributes and each could work in the right context.

2. St. Paul said that he became "all things to all men" for the purpose of spreading the Gospel. What are the limits to this approach in being a Christian witness?

All things must not be contrary to Scripture. A person can integrate themslef into a culture or society as long as they don't comprimise what the Bible teaches as sin. This also includes causing someone else to stumble. The Christian Witness must realize that their purpose is for Christian Witness and keep their focus upon that.

3. Regarding the apostles, Scott says "The hostile, negative reaction they experience from society is to be expected." (P. 267) Question: What kinds of negative reaction do you experience from this current society?

I think that the media is one of the biggest avenues for negative reaction. It seems that Hollywood is looking for someone who claims to be a believer who is willing to go onto a reality show so they can document them sinning. Their claim is that the "Christians" are no different than the rest of society. Another area is when a person has had a bad experience in the church (Maybe by no fault of the church at all). Many people complain just for the sake of complaining.

4. Scott states; "The state, on the other hand, does not know of the lordship of Christ but still serves Him unconsciously and against its will." (P. 287) Question: What action can we take to help change the state for serving Christ and following God‟s Will?

Portraying our faith as real and showing others how it affects us on a daily basis is a start. It seems that the church secludes themselves and talks about the Lord to each other, but not to those who don't believe. The society must be taught what serving the Lord is and what His will is. They will not know if they have not been told.
