- When does Darren realize it is his life on stage? What about Deborah?
- How do the people in the audience respond throughout the play?
- What is the pivotal point of the play? What caused it? How was it resolved? How did the audience respond?
- If you had a similar opportunity to change something about your life, what would it be? How would this change affect those who are watching?
- What do you think the guy at the end of the play meant when he said, “Will you be the changed or the change?”
- Key Ideas:
- - Your life plays out to an audience every day: Will you change it for the better?
- - Don’t let the world change you, instead change the world!

- 1) What are the 3 responses we can have to culture?
- - We can be Offended, Delighted, or Distressed
- 2) What are the 3 actions these responses lead to?
- - Offended: Withdrawal, Isolation
- - Delighted: Assimilated
- - Distressed: Engagement
- 3) Why do many Christians choose to withdraw from culture?
- - They may believe the secular world is inherently evil
- - They may believe that interacting w/it causes too many temptations for people to turn away from God.
- - Christians are ‘citizens of 2 worlds’: Jesus’ & our culture. How we manage this can be a serious problem!
- - “In” but not “of” the world: Christians are to be in the world, but not ‘of’ the world
- - - “I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.” – Jesus (John 17:14-18)
- - - “You are from God… They are from the world; therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.” – John (1 John 4:4-5)
- - They may enjoy the culture & not want to miss out on it
- - They may adapt their Christian beliefs to match the culture or simply forget their beliefs at convenient times.
- 5) What are some ways Christians can become aware of what’s going on in culture w/o becoming part of it?
- - Your thoughts?
- - Understand the heart & desires of the culture
- - Communicate Jesus to them through their values
- - Build a bridge to engage them w/Jesus’ heart & mind!
Test Short Answer 2: List and describe the three responses and corresponding actions that Christians could have toward an un-Christian culture. Explain why the third way (as presented in class) is best!
- 1) Offended: We are hurt/annoyed by it.
- - Withdraw: We go away from it.
- 2) Delighted: We really like it!
- - Assimilated: We become like it (e.g. music, language, etc…)
- 3) Distressed: We are made sad by it & want to help it
- - Engaged: We actively work in it to help it
