I wish the article contained some Biblical references to support the position. We know that God placed us in the world to influence the world and not to become like it (John 17:14-16). But when we begin to adopt to the system and practice of the world, we have compromised, weakened and perhaps corrupted our influence. In the language of Jesus, we have lost our saltiness (Matthew 5:13). The bottomline is: As Christians, our faith and practice should be directed by Scripture alone; otherwise we have deviated from "Sola Scriptura" and fallen prey to the trap of "relevance."
