With the polarization of every issue under the sun, along with the platform of social media, tensions have never been greater concerning issues of cultural engagement. In How to Think Like Jesus, Gregory Gibson argues that Christians need to move away from legalism and stop dividing over tertiary issues.

The water comes up to your knees (if that). You are surrounded by other children."
