“All
Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make
us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and
teaches us to do what is right.” (2
Timothy 3:16 NLT)
The
future belongs to the young and so it is they in particular who must face this
urgent question: Ought we not to take
more seriously again the familiar system of values which can help us determine
what to do? I am not suggesting a
nostalgic retreat into the past; but perhaps we should chart our future course
with the help of a certain compass, which may not have outlived its usefulness
after all. A compass which -- after many
other instruments have proved to have given only unreliable bearings in the
tempests of modern times -- could perhaps point us a course toward a future of
greater human dignity. A compass that
might reorientate us with essential Christian values once more, and in a new
way, in an era whose values have been so impoverished.
