Jesus used metaphors of salt and light to describe how his followers are to live in society. New Wine, New Wineskins is leading the charge in a compassionate revolution to live as salt and light in our churches and communities, and is equipping a new wave of leaders to engage our culture redemptively in view of Jesus’ explosive power, compassion, and character. Thank you, Dr. Metzger—my friend and fellow pilgrim—for equipping an army of biblically sound and theologically grounded followers of Jesus who are community-sensitive and culturally connected in order to penetrate our world and society with the transforming truth of the Gospel. For the Christian who longs to make a difference in today’s contemporary culture, I highly recommend attending their cutting edge conferences and subscribing to their journal, Cultural Encounters. Thank you, New Wine, New Wineskins. I stand by your side in this battle, believing we can and will influence our culture for Jesus’ sake.

If the Gospel of Jesus is a bridge, New Wine, New Wineskins is scouting the far shore. The importance of this ministry cannot be overstated. Attend one of the conferences and see for yourself.

The Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins is at the cutting edge of today’s holistic ministry movement. And because it’s connected to a Bible College and Seminary, it’s in a great position to challenge future leaders. I am highly impressed.

New Wine, New Wineskins challenges the hearts of those who follow Christ. Under the guidance of Dr. Paul Metzger, New Wine’s challenging and eye-opening events prove the point–-it isn’t easy to love our neighbors, especially ‘in Jesus’ name.’ It isn’t easy, but with clarity and verve New Wine, New Wineskins reminds us that it is essential.

The Institute for the Theology of Culture: New Wine, New Wineskins under the leadership of Dr. Paul Metzger is fulfilling its motto of “Bringing Christ to Contemporary Culture.” New Wine, New Wineskins exists to help us engage our multicultural world with the unchanging truths of Scripture without fear or compromise. Through our growing partnership, I have already seen the positive spiritual benefits of sharing our cultural and worldview perspectives between First Nations and non-Native peoples. As our worldview assumptions are challenged in a biblical and Christ-honoring way, we become better equipped to present Christ and his kingdom effectively in a rapidly, radically changing multi-ethnic world. New Wine, New Wineskins is a tremendous resource in the body of Christ.
