Does God Care about Culture?

I googled the words American Culture & United States Culture and this is what came up:

Whether or not we should be proud of this...well...it's debatable.

So, does God care about our culture? Does God care about what our culture tells us concerning what to eat, what to buy, what to watch, what to listen to, & how to spend our time? Some say, "Yes, of course he cares about our culture. God cares about everything." Still, others say, "No, God doesn't care about our culture because all people are the same to him." Well, I say that the answer is both Yes and No.

God cares about culture because, as I Peter 5:7 tells us, he cares for you. God cares about the music that we're listening to, the shows that we're watching, and the activities in which we're participating, because they can either lead us closer to God or farther away. Culture is unavoidable, but that doesn't mean that we're forced to participate in the negative aspects of it. Our culture should be in the hands of God. Everything we do should honor God, whether it's new fashion trends, political candidates, or the latest box office smash. We should be spending more time thinking on the things of God than we do thinking on the things of this world. We live in a time and culture that offers a lot of opportunity for us to honor God, but that's not always what is most popular.

That being said, God does not care about our culture. We cannot use our culture as an excuse for straying from God. Those who lived in Sodom & Gomorrah (Genesis 18-19) were raisd in a culture of godlessness, but God still held them accountable for their actions. If there is no positive and pure-minded music on the radio, switch it to a Christian station, buy a CD, or turn it off. Same with television. If you can't find modest apparel, go to another store. God no longer overlooks ignorance. We can't pull the "It's Just My Culture" card. God has given us a way to stand under any temptation, even those brought on by culture.

No, God doesn't care about the next episode of Glee, but he does care about the way that it affects your relationship with him. So, no matter what you're doing, examine yourself and see if you are honoring your culture or honoring your God.
