Some of you went to "catechism" class at your church as a child where you and your friends had lessons about Christianity. Those two hours per week instructed you to think in a Christian way about life, God, and values.
Then you graduated and catechism stopped. No more instruction in how or what to think. You might still learn a bit about the Christian worldview now from church sermons. Or not.
You may or may not hear Christian teaching today, but there's no doubt that you get instructed in secular culture. Catechism of the secular variety is almost in the air we breathe. Do you watch streaming shows? Read your Google feed headlines? Social platforms? You're learning intolerance of any sexual restraint, and that religion in general is nonsense, just to mention a couple of lessons.
Every single day media brings you lessons in how to think like the cultural elite. In the absence of biblical teaching, Christians will learn “not from churches, but from the media they consume, or rather the media that consumes them.”
