Day 63 - Chapter 2

I once attended a North England Easter Conference in Wales together with all the Chinese Christian churches in the Yorkshire region in 2007. Colossians 2:6-7 was the bible verse chosen to support the theme "Roots and Wings" and the speakers focused on the issue of post-modernism. 

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

 What is postmodernism? Postmodernism is defined by Merriam Webster (referring to literature) as a reaction against an ordered view of the world and therefore against fixed ideas about the form and meaning of texts. We know that people of today do not accept a fact as fact unless there is a scientific or reasonable explanation backed up with hard, tangible evidence and, sadly, the bible has not escaped full criticism and skepticism. 

Just yesterday, our church minister talked about Ate Tin's Jewish employer (a perfect example of a postmodernistic man) about how to respond to his questions about the authenticity of the bible. Bro Alan cited 1 Peter 1:20-21

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 

Bro Resty also added that, "and if he still does not believe, it will be entirely up to him - this is where faith comes in. We leave the seed planted in his heart and we allow the Holy Spirit to work in him so that his heart will be opened" 

Be encouraged Ate Tin!
