Fashion And Faith In A Mainstream Way
Faith is the reinvigorated fashion. Fashion is the new Christian faith. Uniqueness is something we all look for in fashion. But how to do it with the traditional Christian faith? According to generation X and revolutionary mainstream youth believers, “doing the original you is always the best”. Wracked jeans, casual wear, 80s scene and realizing that the directive “ugly” enlists a to some extent sexy and hip connotation.
In ministry we are missing it. Those of us who are proclaiming a distinguished “holiness” are failing how to connect with a different believer. Yet we are called to minister to “all people” according to the Word of the Lord. And assume it or not, that includes the 80s group and after.
Remember that sexy and hip innuendos doesn’t mean “damned and hell”. We are to light the call of Christ and the craze of victory in their lives …. This new generation is keenly suspicious of grand declarations of Christ. They have seen adults all from faith, live hippocratic lives and deny the Lord and therefore, reasoning among them can be complex. However, through complex and distrust; X factors are simple solutions:
1) Get affiliated! Online social groups, wireless connections and the Internet are good youth avenue
2) Instead of mentoring the new “Fashion-Faith” believers…let them coach you
3) Create relationships with younger individuals in your family and spend time getting to know them
4) Understand that your perceptions may be different but your principles are the same
5) Although culture-music and fashion- is changing, the reference is the whole word of God not a sight-ful observation
6) Bring to mind what the definitions are in being a Christian…not your views
7) Change your church attendance views…go and be available where they are
8) Segregation. Simply…do not do it!
9) Tolerate conservatism and contemporary are not the same views…neither is wrong or ‘right’; and
10) Dare to share your faith!!
In essence, Christianity as we know it is changing from the pulpit of church to an ‘on the street’ method of accountability. Churches that claim attendance, conservative views, fashion, and formalistic ideology are necessary to be saved must take a second look to reach this missed opportunity and ripened flock. New faith….new fashion. They will look at Christianity as on view they cannot identify with …or will they.
Nevertheless, there is an eventuality and ministry. There is no need to be fluttered about approaching these issues. If you see something works go with it. Proclaiming a prevalent generation of churchmans and invoking their mind about values and the Christian faith is okay! Developing kindreds and friendship are the reinforcement of life and demonstrating your bound and determined walk with the Lord are two essentials in swaying these believers that we all have communicable hope in the Lord.
