Being a Christian in the West these days is not what it used to be. But the loss of standing, difficult as it may be to accept, does not exempt us from our responsibility to draw near to our neighbors. Regardless of shifting cultural currents, our Lord remains “the same yesterday and today and forever” (Heb. 13:8, ESV). And so does his call for us to continue loving our neighbors as ourselves regardless of our diminished position in the new post-Christian pecking order.
