Each person is given the opportunity to respond to popular culture in a variety of ways. They can condemn, critique, consume or copy. Not only do individuals have this choice, each church has to choose its response to culture as well. What if we were never designed to passively respond to culture, but to create it? God specifically created each person to build a culture that honors him.We are called to create a culture around us based upon the worship of God (see Matthew 28:19-20). The purpose of this culture is help people engage in worship beyond the corporate worship service. To teach them how to hear and see what God is doing and carry it out in every relationship and situation they encounter. To present something new and more compelling to the world than what they have seen before.

The culture of worship I am describing will be identified as an altared culture. The Old Testament altar was a place of worship as well as remembrance. Just as the altar represented worship of God, this newly proposed culture will lead people to worship and remember in the same way. The remembrance will lead to greater faith due to the acknowledgment of God's faithfulness in the past, which will enable those who participate to worship in every aspect of their lives. This book will help you discover how to create culture by examining Jesus' example and then giving you practical application on how to apply it to your life. I invite you to come along and walk the path towards creating a culture that acknowledges and worships God.
