CHILDREN born after the Y2K see things and experience things quite differently. It is not uncommon to see toddlers playing with cellphones, iPods, and iPads nowadays. Facebook, YouTube, and Google Search are no surprises. One usually hears parents telling that their kid knows better computer than them. Media and internet has exposed the young child to the ends of the world. They have also exposed the young child to uncensored evil. Three decades ago, preachers clamored about the evils of what they termed the “Idiot Box” and the “Devil Vision” (referring to TV). They might have never imagined that the onslaught of TV would be outdated soon, and what they regarded as obscene in their era would be considered as normal in an age to come. There is all reason why the internet could be such an influential force in this age: its ubiquity and seeming omniscience; you can find it almost anywhere and you can find on it information about almost anything. The amount of information too has intensel...

Paper presented during the CMS Consultation, Union Biblical Seminary, Pune, 2013 Abstract At the root of the corruption problem is its moral and economic nature. The economic problem is a moral problem. Modern theories of corruption are usually empirical in nature. However, they are not without their ideological dimensions though in the modern scheme of things, a normative framework is usually not rationally entertained. Empiricism combined with materialism takes on the reins of economies; however, disregard of the spiritual will not bring any lasting solution. A vision of the absolute is needed. There are various ideologies and religions that provide some kind of a vision or the other. The biblical vision is both historical and prophetic as well. And, the Church is called to be the model of that vision in this pervert and corrupt world. The very term “corruption” indicates an aberration on, a departure from, and a violation of something essentially good. The idea of what is good, howe...

.. if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you. (Exo 23:33  NKJ ) 1. Gods of IMAGINATION - The Gods of Craving (Deut 4:28; Jer 1:16) They are unreal and based on human imagination and wishful desire. Examples: Barbie doll, Heman, James Bond, Playboy, False ideals, etc. 2. Gods of INSPIRATION - The Gods of Charisma (Ex.32:1) They are figures that inspire at the cost of the gifts that God has given to us. The Israelites got the jewelry as God's gift from the Egyptians; but, now the devil is taking all of that so that they can have dead gods (powerless in themselves) to lead by false inspiration. Examples: Career icons, Movie stars (the Hero-worship, Fan culture), Charismatic personalities (empty within themselves), Musicians, Artists, Skeptics, Ungodly peers & friends, etc 3. Gods of INFIDELITY - The Gods of Compromise (EX. 34:15,16) These are gods that promote infidelity and immorality and compel you to cheat on God and sell children to harlotry with the d...

Don Richardson (born 1935) is a Canadian Christian missionary, teacher, author and international speaker who worked among the tribal people of Western New Guinea, Indonesia.[1] He argues in his writings that, hidden among tribal cultures, there are usually some practices or understandings, which he calls "redemptive analogies", which can be used to illustrate the meaning of the Christian Gospel, contextualizing the biblical representation of the incarnation of Jesus.
