Clarifying Sacred Vs. Secular

Deposit Images. Used with permission.

Let's have some real talk.

Most prophetic writers I've encountered over the years struggle with the understanding of secular versus sacred. I'm pretty sure this is based on how it has been traditionally taught in church settings. There was a time when the word "secular" made me immediately think of sin. But I've grown to understand that the real debate is not between secular and sacred, but sacred and sinful.

Below, I've provided two articles that I think might help bridge our understanding of this subject. I wrote the first one for "writers." I strongly suggest that you read it. It will bless you if you need a different perspective in this area. Maybe you need it to help you heal because of your unique calling.

There's no assignment attached to this lesson. It's basically a follow-up from last week's discussion. You are more than welcome to comment on the articles below. I do believe, however, that this is a valuable discussion for those who may perceive a secular and sacred divide. Feel free to engage below.
