Secularisation (or: worldliness) in western countries is...

Him (i.e. Jesus) God raised up on the third day and showed him openly, not to all the people but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with him after he arose from the dead.
Acts 10:40.41

Secularisation (or: worldliness) in western countries is on the increase. Many people are resigning their church membership. On the other hand, educated persons and younger people often seek guidance in a religious or spiritual sphere.

What can give us proper guidance? To whom should we turn in our search for conclusive truth and for the sense and goal of our own life? God alone, or witnesses whom He has appointed, are the only ones able to verify what they say.

The apostles of Jesus Christ, whom He commissioned with the words: "You shall be witnesses to me to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8) were such witnesses. We find their testimony recorded in the Bible, the Word of God. Peter, who spoke the words of the text above, added that Jesus "was ordained by God to be the judge of the living and the dead" and that "whoever believes in him will receive remission of sins" (vv. 42 &.43). That is the wonderful thing about God's message for seekers: the Judge, before whom all must appear, and the Saviour are one Person. God now grants to whoever believes in Jesus Christ the forgiveness of sins and exemption from judgment. For this purpose Christ died on the cross as the atoning sacrifice.

"Come to me, all you who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).

There is still time to find proper guidance.

Today's reading: Judges 16:13-22 · Psalm 73:9-17
