Foreword

I am glad to see my younger brother following my footsteps to write. In thecyber world, every Christian has to put his imprint or thoughts through blogs. This book is a good model for writing blogs. “The Word and the World” is aneeded book for young Christians to stimulate their thoughts and provoke theirresponse. There are three important things to understand about the Word and the World.

Real:

God’s Word is real. It is the truth. In the midst of so many myths, ideologies, theories,philosophies, dogmas, doctrines, traditions; Bible is the TRUTH. God’s Word is eternal truth andthere would be always several counterfeits resembling this, but they are not real and authentic.

Relevant:

God’s Word is relevant in any contemporary situation. It is relevant for personal life,family life, social life, spiritual life, moral life…etc. God’s word is alive and could transform thereaders and the society. Those who ignore God’s Word loose relevance in the world here and worldto come.

Relationship:

God’s Word provides us the Way for relationship with God. It helps humanity tobe reconciled with God through Lord Jesus Christ. Not only that, it provides right relationship forChristians to have with the world. The Word of God provides resources to walk in the world being in constant communication with God.Each generation has to interpret the Scripture for their own generation. Peter Daniel has attemptedto interpret the Word of God for his peers and youngsters. The reflection questions are good tounderstand the thoughts and ideas shared. Reflection would certainly lead to action – initiatives that would benefit the Kingdom of God.Congratulations Peter for writing this and I wish each reader may be blessed, edified and equippedto serve God faithfully.
