Dangers in trying to properly apply the Bible

1. You can be so concerned to make the Christian faith accessible for the local culture, that you become too radical for the rest of the church to follow you.
2. You can be so concerned with the look of things that you neglect their feel. The same form can carry different meanings for different (sub)cultural groups. You need to respect people's intuition as to whether something is fine or problematic.
3. You can be so concerned to make things accessible that you forgot that it's God doing the work, and that he can make powerful use of half-baked, culturally alien efforts.
