Moving into the 21st Century Naked

Dear Friends,

In 1999 the West was on a warpath concerning the Y2K. We were going to lose everything, the technological age was going to disrupt our lives as we know it.. We were putting  away food, buying generators, storage filled with our worldly possessions, and above all in a fear mode.

2000 came and went by without a single incident around the world, but that's not my fear today as a Theology, and a Philosopher. My fear or actually my concerns are the

1.  Rising Biblical Illiteracy in our culture and the world we live in today.. Our kids don't even know there are two testaments in the Bible, an Old Testament and a New Testament. The difference between the big number (chapter) and small number (verse) in the Bible.. Biblical words like God, Christ, Man, Salvation, Revelation, Redemption, or Sin has become a bunch of biblical jargons that has no reference point or a Center...

Al Mohler has expressed our conviction well: A word that can mean anything means nothing. If “evangelical identity”means drawing no boundaries, then we really have no center, no matter what we may claim. The fundamental issue is truth, and though the modernist may call us wrong and the postmodernist may call us naive, there is nowhere else for us to stand. . .

If our God is weightless, the Bible has no authority, words without meaning, life has no sense of direction, and the death of Truth on the altar of postmodernity, we're doomed. My advice to you today is a simple advice from Christ; fear not! Our God is still in control, He is still in our lives, answering prayers, answering and providing for our needs. In charge of the world we live in, engaging our enemies, and healing our wounds.

As we focus on the daily news, tweet, Facebook posting, and email, we lose sight of the God who is there and he is not silent. Stay strong in your faith, and know that he's our I AM!

Our next concern will be on the (2) Rising Secularization of our culture
