The urgent need is for Christians to debate and become aware of the nature of modernity. Too easily they have accepted the good things which are available wthout being aware of the erosions of Christian faith and truth which are taking place. Jesus rebuked those who could not understand this present time. What is needed is a cultural awareness similar to what we expect of those who go abroad to minister Christ’s word. As we understand the present time, our engagement in prayer and our use of the Scriptures will become more focused. We wll see how congregations can become lights of the Kingdom. A re-born worship and a re-born proclamation bring the believer into the marvellous world view of the Scripture, and place the same world view of Scripture in the midst of everyday life in a secular world.
