Engage the Culture

The key word here is think. It implies that this should become a characteristic of life. We have seen the word before and if you have done much study in the book of Romans you will be quite familiar with this word. The idea behind this word goes way beyond simply the entertainment of thoughts. It refers to the reaching of a settled conclusion by careful examination and study. In other words, Paul says “I want you to be a scientist when it comes to life. I want you to examine the world; put it to the test and those characteristics or qualities which are lasting, hold up and remain in and through all things lay hold of them.
