“Christian culture” is always a counter-culture, not a consumer culture, an entertainment culture or a political lobby. “The Church” is a gathering of people loyal to Jesus who believe certain things, but it is a movement of people who apply the gospel to those issues in their midst that demonstrate the meaning of the Kingdom of God.

Looking at all these popular non-denominational churches one would have to wonder just how counter-cultural they really are.
It would seem to me that they are in love with the culture.
Everything about them reeks of the culture.
Steve,
Perhaps one of the measures of a church's authenticity is how rightly counter-cultural it is.
Thank you for commenting.
Peace...
