Truth From The Soul  

Romans 12:2
And be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed my the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God.
It often amazes me that often times we hear people singing high praise to artists who sound identical to the sound of the streets! Is God not authentic? Does the sound of a levite sound like that of those worshiping the golden god?
Have you ever turned on the radio and at the end you didn't know rather to repent or cut a step? It had the name Jesus, Lord, or God somewhere in it but it seemed somewhat faded in the background of all of the music and accompanying lyrics that seem to cross lines.
Ok, so I get we use the scripture  1 Corinthians 9:19: “For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; 20 and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; 21 to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; 22 to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 23 Now this I do for the gospel's sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.”
Let's not read this out of context and use this as a cover for wanting to blend "fit in" SELL.....wow I guess I could go all day on the word!
Paul  adapted his teaching to their thought in their culture to reach them. He divides the world into the religious with the law, (Jews) and the Gentiles, without the law.  An example of this is recorded in Acts 17. He showed the philosophers they were wrong from logic, their own history and the Bible and explained to them what is right. In 1 Corinthians 9:22 Paul said by inspiration of the Holy Spirit: “To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.”

If this is isolated from the rest of Scripture one can assume that Paul was willing to do anything to reach the lost, including adopting their lifestyle and compromise his ethics, moral and beliefs. This is a doctrine that is popularized among the seeker friendly evangelism crowd today. If we use this logic then one cannot reach a drug addict unless they become one, one cannot reach a drunk unless they drink alcohol. What sense does this make?
