I always hear them saying "know what you want, do what you want." And without even knowing what on earth is post modern, my happy-go-lucky buddies fall into the trap of creating their own truths. The basis for their happiness is simply what they want. <br /><br />I was discussing with my discipler a while ago regarding atheistic post modern beliefs that goes rampant around the state university (UP). We concluded that in order for them to really see the truth, they should really know how we are changed deeply by it. Truth can be seen in our lives, in testimonies in the end, and it is something they can see for themselves. Them "respecting what we believe" will turn into "wanting what we believe" simply because they see how bad their lives turned out and how joyful a Christian life becomes. Pound per pound, same amount of money, same amount of materials and relationships, we can prove that a Christian has joy and those without Christ is undeniably searching for something. <br /><br />I guess we just have to spend more and more time with them, befriend them and love them so they would see how joyful we become and how miserable it is to live outside God's will.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037723258405693900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-34083368188837637072011-02-03T10:05:24.161-08:002011-02-03T10:05:24.161-08:00It is a challenge to minister the youths of today,...It is a challenge to minister the youths of today, with their postmodern worldview.

But, one fact that we can know as we flip the pages of history is that ministry has never been a cup of tea. History records that there has always been a war of thoughts, philosophies and theologies. Thus it's another state of war of thoughts and ideas but with no absolutes and for us it is an undenying challenge to present the absolute truth of Jesus Christ and Salvation through Him to this generation.KAIROShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04195530670481825369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-36792282457916622602011-02-03T07:40:53.569-08:002011-02-03T07:40:53.569-08:00Blogs like this are important for the people insid...Blogs like this are important for the people inside the church not to be ignorant of what is happening in the world. <br /><br />As being part of campus ministry before, I have learned the power professors have in influencing college students to become atheist (this is a catholic school bdw). But even without direct influence, students are becoming atheist especially because of the belief 'God is good', but reality of their life screams out 'He's not good' ("What is true to you may not be true to me", right?). It seems that there is a preference to be atheist than deist today. This was my personal experience as well as others I've talked to.<br /><br />We don't just want to prove there is a God. We have to prove that Jesus is God and that the Bible is reliable. If there is anything that I emphasize that hits on all that, it is the resurrection of Christ. I believe if we study enough there is still enough facts today to have faith in the resurrection even for a doubting Thomas.<br />I've also learned that the greatest tool for evangelism is love. I stick close to my atheist friends even after they've rejected the gospel (I encourage others, especially new Christians, to do so also). <br /><br />But at the end of the day, it's all up to God to defend Himself and we pray for God to do that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290060860894998038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-6102120977841523032011-02-03T06:33:12.645-08:002011-02-03T06:33:12.645-08:00Being a minister of God, I can't say that &quo...Being a minister of God, I can't say that "there are no more absolutes and truth becomes relative." That's how people view the world. I am reminded Judges 21:25 "Everyone did what was right in his own eyes" Do not try to swim along with the current/wave. Be a responsible person to present the truth. Joseph, I encourage you to stand firm on the truth.

But as regards to the matter of meeting the needs of others/our audience, we cannot do it, only Christ can (that is what I personally believe, though). You pointed it out correctly, Joseph Brian, in your assessment of the generation today. You have the right heart and approach in regards to your response. Our lives definitely need to be demonstrations of His grace and love, and our lives should be filled with his wisdom if we are to effectively minister to postmodernists today.<br />Great article. What you wrote actually helped me understand postmodernism better, espcially in the context of how we are to respond to people (esp the younger generation today).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-61081685753351082772011-02-03T04:37:26.935-08:002011-02-03T04:37:26.935-08:001.

My professor once said, "we have been too faithful from the past that we have abandoned the future."<br />2. How to react? First, I have to study the culture of my society including the subculture of the youth. Secondly, I need to come up with a packaging of biblical truth that would be relevant to them.<br />3. How can i make the gospel relevant? I think we should share the gospel in way where they could discover the truth by their own. I got the idea in our HBLT (Hook Book Look Took) class. Combine friendship evangelism at the same time. In that way they would not feel compelled to accept truth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-25500114174007207752011-02-03T04:10:18.769-08:002011-02-03T04:10:18.769-08:00thanks for this kabs..first i have second thoughts...thanks for this kabs..first i have second thoughts of reading this(hehe) but as i read this it gave me a whole new understanding about postmodernism..NICE!!niñanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-49318749378062688732011-02-02T16:50:58.863-08:002011-02-02T16:50:58.863-08:00Thanks for sharing this papabear!

We always spread the same message, but in a new, fresh and more meaningful way.<br /><br />As for postmodernism... I agree that we must take that into account, but in the end it is just a passing cultural phenomenon - another mindset will take its place, and it will be time once again for the church to adapt and grow. We should not sacrifice God's word for such a trivial thing.<br /><br />All in all, great read!Ian Garciahttp://www.facebook.com/cinquedianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-29126069713199703152011-02-02T06:25:17.641-08:002011-02-02T06:25:17.641-08:00I agree.

With our generation...This is very good stuff, man. <br />With our generation unconsciously embracing post-modernism, young ministers and youth leaders should be aware of this. We play a new set of game using the old set of rules, that's why for many, the Bible has not been that much appealing. Postmodernism truly blurs everything, no doubt about that, but until now, I still cannot completely conclude it as a bad thing. In a way, we can also use it to point out things and share another perspective, but without standards, people will just be running in circles. Another thought i have may be that post-modernism only occurs on a certain age. This post makes me ponder even more. <br />Thanks Jinggoi for sharing this!:)LarryParanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17213186955123251545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407301201243095249.post-32644411858739638362011-02-02T04:21:14.316-08:002011-02-02T04:21:14.316-08:00I agree with you that our faith in Jesus Christ sh...I agree with you that our faith in Jesus Christ should be logically reasonable, that we should have right personal experience with Him and that we should live it out in order to impact the lives of this postmodern generation.

Its between him and God. <br />3. Was he really a Christian?<br />In my humble opinion he is a Christian. Although he was baptized late, it has nothing to do with salvation. <br />4.
