On one occasion while we were living in Pretoria I walked into a computer shop to get the prices of some hardware items that I needed. I was assisted by a young man who had an obvious zeal for the Lord. He helped me courteously, but his spiritual zeal clearly made him more far interested in the Christian choruses that he was preparing for his church than in the computers which made a profit for his employers.
This incident highlights a mindset that is prevalent amongst Christians today.

Way back in the Garden of Eden, after God created Adam and Eve, he gave to them the cultural mandate, which some refer to as the Christian's social responsibility. In that mandate, God required them to: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing” (Gen 1:28ff). |
