"[T]hat you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world." Philippians 2:15
I participated in a webinar yesterday with the Engstrom Institute on the topic of "Practical Strategies for Godly Development of People." EI encourages churches and Christian non-profits to have policies in place in order to be good stewards of God's people. I was somewhat surprised at their list of "hot issues" of human resources that should be addressed even by Christian organizations. Realities such as the pervasiveness of pornography, sexual harassment, violence, and concealed weapons in the workplace now prompt Christian employers to develop aggressive strategies to both protect their employees and hold them accountable for violations. This is a sad commentary on Christians. What happened to our call to be "blameless and harmless...in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation?" Have we become so worldly that we don't even desire to be salt and light? Are we committed to renew our minds with God's Word on a daily basis, so that we will walk in a manner worthy of our calling?
