Push came to shove when Christians were expected to participate in activities their Lord opposed. Before they knew Christ they would have had no problem with this. But the revelation of Jesus Christ includes new expectations and new perspectives. Some things appearing harmless before the new life are revealed as the deadly things they are and have been. The city had not changed, but some of her citizens had. Jesus told His followers to render to Caesar – the secular authority – what rightfully belonged to it, and to God what rightfully belonged to Him. He did not tell us to bail on culture, but to address that culture. He said to give Caesar what was His due – and that does not always coincide with his desire. Yet if God cannot command ultimate loyalty and obedience He is not God. In places like ancient Corinth that meant participating in the worship of idols – the ultimate sin for Christians and Jews because it is the ultimate insult to our God and King, who does not share His glory. But it is not good for anyone, because it often leads to practical evils ranging from ritual prostitution to ritual murder. In other words, the Christians were doing a service to their neighbors by blowing the whistle. They lacked – then and now – the power to do more than exhort and example, in keeping with a God born in a manger. But it renders a contemporary parallel when American Christians not only refuse to participate in practices like abortion and alternatives to authentic marriage, but decline to enable or pay for them as well – whatever mandates may come from a secular authority such as Health and trained by Hawaiian Christians make Human Services or Obamacare.
