Responsibility Redefined, Loses its Objective Meaning

How do you define the word responsibility? It is a “form of trustworthiness,” according to the dictionary, “the trait of being answerable to someone for something or being responsible for one’s conduct.” Is this sense of obligation and answerability now vanishing in the sphere of politics by the dishonesty and corruption of most politicians; of religion by the dollar mentality of many religious leaders; of the family by the parents’ neglect of their children? Hence, we need our sense of trustworthiness to always harmonize with the Christian teachings. We need the biblical accountability as Christ’s people. Let us neither redefined nor humanized our version of responsibility!

God’s Fellowship With Humanity is High in His agenda

god's fellowship with humanity

God’s fellowship with man is one compelling truth. Every passing moment God is interested in our closeness to Him. Intimacy absorbs Him as He called Adam to fellowship with Him even during Adam’s first ever disobedience. “Where are you?,” (Gen. 3:9) was God’s language of concern when Adam and Eve rebelled against Him. “We will come to him and make Our abode with him,” was Christ’s teaching on God’s designed union with humankind. (John 14:23b) It is God’s blueprint for the loving Creator-man relationship: making our body God Spirit’s temple. (cf. I Cor. 6:19) Wrote the apostle Paul: “Christ liveth in me.” God’s fellowship with humanity starts here in this life.

Christian Principles Reviewed and Clarified

I am resigning—am a Christian . . . I find the entire system of our company shamefully corrupt. Bribery, immorality—I don’t want to be identified as one of its employees.” It was the statement given by Moab, a highly respected officer of a certain company, before he left his job. Few months after his resignation he found himself penniless; his family having no more food in the fridge and his children quitting school. So huge was Moab’s financial downfall in the guise of his Christian principles. But, if you were in Moab’s place, for instance, would you dare such an enormous decision to defend your Christian beliefs? Or will your employment with such a company make you less Christian?

Worldview Noise Blocks the Christian Gospel

world view noise by this verse

The Hindus, the Judaists, even the Catholics, the Seventh Day Adventists, the Jehovah’s Witnesses, the Mormons—all of them have their own version of worldview noise. Rejecters of Christ as the only Giver of eternal life always have good reasons for their unbelief. How to stop this noise for the gospel to be heard clearly?

Yes, atheism crumbles, as it is not part of human design. It is like putting a non-genuine part in your car’s engine. A long time ago, God said that an atheist is a fool or someone engaged in self-deception. In Psalm 14:1, David said that the “fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.” The atheist’s belief starts with his “conversation with his heart” without the open-mindedness to consider the mysteries of the world around him. Observe the following declaration of one atheist from the Web:
