James 1:17
We live in a world filled with
trouble. We live amid sickness,
sorrow, and death. In our life-
time, we have seen violence,
hatred, and conflict sweep
across our lives, either directly
or indirectly. What has become
of the security we once felt in
our Christian experience?
What are some reasons for
this feeling of insecurity in our
lives today? The first one is
this: loss of an awareness of
God. lgtany of our friends do
not have a vital experience of
the Divine Presence of the Holy
Spirit. There are those who
think that life ceases with death.
For them, there is no resurrec-
tion. Another is this: that mate-
rialism has overcome and con-
quered the spiritual. Larger and
more beautiful times, bigger
factories, more powerful
weapons. These things bring
security. Do they? Another is
this: impersonalism. Much of
our city life today is imperson-
al. There are those who say that
our problems cannot be solved.
They say that race relations,

Looking For Security
poverty and economics are too
complex to be dealt with ade-
quately.
Some of our difficulty may
arise from our population
explosion, along with an imper-
sonal society which makes us
suspicious of one another.
Premature marriages, quick
divorces, illegitimate births, all
reflect thebreakdown of our
family life. These attitudes
bring about a feeling of insecu-
rity.
The answer to the Christians'
search for security is Jesus. The
Christian, as he lives in today's
world, a world which is full of
change, finds his security only
in Jesus. It is found in Jesus'
revelation of God. It is found in
the human worth of each indi-
vidual child of God. It is found
in the assurance of God's world
that humans have purpose and
meaning. Above all, it is found
to God's redemptive plan that is
at work in us and with us. Let us
be thankful that God has taken
the initiative. He accepts and
forgives us. He gives us power
to become His children, and He
has conquered death for
