Accommodation is used as a convenient label when people (who are already accommodating to culture) fear having to change.  It's a human response, but that's no excuse for keeping churches around the country from feeling like they can breathe.  So, internet audience, if you've ever asked the "accommadation question" (and I'm included here) let me ask you:

1. How many of you speak and read Biblical Greek and Hebrew?  If not, every time you pray, read the Bible, or open your mouth to sing a hymn or worship song you've accommadated to culture.
2. How many of you like to use the piano,  pipe-organ, guitar, drums, or keyboard to accompany congregational singing?  Heck, how many of you like to have sheet music in front of you so you can sing harmony instead of melody?  Guess, what?  You've accommodated to culture.  None of the instruments or concepts mentioned were around in Biblical times.
3. How many of you agree that we shouldn't be singing these hymns and praise-songs and should just get back to chanting the psalms?  Great, no how many of you can do that in Biblical Hebrew?  Sorry, put your hands down, your accommadating.
4. How many of you are part of congregations that are legally incorporated?  You guessed it!  That's an accommadation to culture.

Not liking something isn't a sin.  Heck, I think that a pipe organ is one of the worst inventions in history, pews are a joke no one's gotten yet, and that the NIV sounds like someone is running their nails down a chalkboard whenever it's read aloud (and it does that in my mind when I have occasion to read it silently).  I don't like these things.  It's okay that I don't like them, but I don't go running around telling people that like things that I dislike that they have become tools for Satan (with the notable exception of people who become Dallas Cowboys fans - it's a Philly thing).

See, accommadation isn't wrong.  Far from it - it's something that we all do because of the mission Jesus gave us (it's kinda hard to make disciples if people have to say to us, "It's all Greek to me").  This doesn't mean that every form of accommadation is good or helpful, but when someone labels something an "accommadation to culture" they aren't making a distinction.  Rather, they are assuming that they aren't accommadating to culture at all - and so are actually defenseless when one of the accommadations they are doing leads them down a dead end or off a cliff.

So I say, "Hallelujah for the accommodations we've made to culture."  May we always be aware that we're doing it, and may we rely on the cloud of witnesses to help reveal our blind-spots when an accommodation leads off course.
