“When we talk about the missional life, we are going to have to understand that mission is always cross-cultural. All of us have a culture we come from, and culture is not an a-moral thing. There are elements of every culture that are bad and there are parts of every culture that are good. There are things in most cultures that are worthy of redeeming. To live missionally we are necessarily going to have to learn to live cross culturally. To do this effectively it’s going to take huge doses of grace and humility mixed with boldness in the gospel. We are taking the gospel that exists in a ‘Two-ist worldview’ and attempting to communicate it in a culture that largely has a ‘One-ist worldview’.”

Without it, Christianity becomes one more form of sentimental One-ism.” With this profound, beautiful statement, Dr. Jones opened the 2012 truthXchange Think Tank, “The Beauty of Two”. It rocked us when we heard it that first night and it is our hope that it rocks you wonderfully as you listen to it now. Reality is Two, and Two-ism is beautiful.

Do you watch celebrity culture? Do you want to wear what they wear? Do you want to drink the beer, champagne, or soda they drink? If we don’t worship celebrity we often worship ourselves. How often do you check your facebook page? How often to you check your Twitter account? How often do you check your email? We are immersed culturally in self worship and celebrity worship, which are the very most popular forms of One-ism. Pastor Mark Driscoll discusses examples of these forms of idolatry and their implications and effects on culture through the lens of One-ism. If you work with youth, teens and young adults, you know that all of these are becoming more and more serious issues.
