Richard Lovelace, in Dynamics of Spiritual Life, makes this observation, “Many of our people are severely enculturated because their relationship to Christ is so insecure that they are not free to cut loose from cultural support.” According to Lovelace, one of the most important things in working towards corporate and personal renewal is “disenculturation,” or removing the influence of worldliness. The effort to fight against worldliness is critical, but the witness of church history (especially modern church history) shows we do not often know how or with what resources to fight worldliness.
