“Contextualization is not ‘giving peope what they want” but rather it is giving God’s answers (which they may not want!) to questions they are asking and in forms that they can comprehend.” In other words, there is an attracting offensiveness to contextualization. The attractiveness of contextualizing the gospel is that we actually listen to the questions that people are asking. We are able to listen patiently to the hopes, challenges, and fears that people in a culture express through art, theater, literature, and films and to communicate the gospel in a way that connects with these hopes, challenges and fears. Many unbelievers in our cultural setting will be attracted to the gospel as they come to understand how it connects to them in the deepest possible ways. The culture begins to see the church as a place of depth and honesty, and many will give the claims of Christ a hearing. People are actually drawn to the church rather than repelled by the church.” Darrin Patrick, The Church Planter, p. 195.
