Two Cultures. One God. The world's culture tells us that "If it feels good, do it," while the Bible cautions that this type of thinking is unwise. The world's culture tells us to promote ourselves and our pursuits even if it means stepping over others, while the Bible says that there is a cross to carry and people to love. Two ways of thinking, but only one of them will bring revival to the church.In Worldly Culture in a Holy Church, Janice Broyles dives into the differences between worldly culture and the culture of God's church and presents Biblical reasons why these two world views should not mix. Specific sins are discussed as areas of concern. These include apathy, idolatry, gluttony, pride, self-centeredness, and jealousy, among others. There is hope for today's church, and it starts with each of us choosing to rid ourselves of the world's culture and choosing Jesus instead.

"In Ancient Palestine, Michal, a young Israeli princess, marries the man she loves, but it comes with a high price. She must spy on him and report back to her father, the notorious King Saul. Michal hopes her father will forget his animosity toward the giant-killing David, and that she and David can finally live a life of peace together. Unfortunately, her father comes to collect on Michal's promise, and she is forced to choose between betraying her father or her husband. Her decision launches her life on a path she never expected. Michal and David are ripped apart for eight years. One is forced into a loveless second marriage, the other is forced to run for his life. If they can survive the vengeful King Saul, they may have a chance at restoring their love. But a lot can change in eight years, and Michal and David are not the same as they once were"--
