Abstract
The secularization of our culture has created a maze of questions about the best way for Christians to be a shining testimony for Christ. Scripture has not left us without guideposts. Since 1998, Beloit College in Wisconsin has released the "Mindset List," posting things their new students have always or never experienced. For instance, this past year's entering class of 2017 had "always been able to plug into USB ports" and had "never attended a concert in a smoke-filled arena." Many items are innocuous, but some are pretty sad, including the class of 2016's widespread ignorance of the biblical sources of terms such as "forbidden fruit," "the writing on the wall," "good Samaritan," and "the Promised Land."
