The Bible and News Paper

As Christian we should read the Bible with the news paper, or some may posit that the news paper should be read with the Bible. You may comment on which is best. But, most importantly, we must be biblical in our response to what is happening in our environs. The church must be current and relevant. And note, by the church i mean Christians, which includes you! the relevance of God is directly related to how much he fits into our world. I used the term "Our world" to refer to the specific context in which we live. Faith should be lived out in the context of ones community. It should address the ills of the society. When in the practice of faith, one disassociates himself from the current realities and concerns of his community, it begs the question, Does the object of ones faith concern with with the realities and concerns of the community? Who will be interested in a God who is not concern about his/her problems?
