Culturally dominant or Spiritually effective

What do you Expect the Word of the God to do in this world before the final day of God's judgment?  If you want to be aware of God's purpose you may have to make a distinction between being Culturally dominant and being Spiritually effective. In the Gospels I see Jesus intentionally ignoring the path to cultural dominance in order to keep with the path of spiritual effectiveness.  If you are sensitive to this truth you may be less likely to overlook your own God appointed opportunities for effective living...and love-filled dying.  May God help us do that.
