throughout the world, this institution was engaged in every
feasible solution to relieve, resolve and remedy the needs
and problems of mankind.
This tongue-in-cheek parody obviously portrays
Christian religion and the institutional church as a business
enterprise dedicated to solving all the problems of the
world. Has not Christendom often projected this to be the
objective of its religious business? Perhaps it is time to
question and evaluate the legitimate objectives of
Christianity.
At the outset, one must admit that there are “a million
and one,” i.e. innumerable, needs and problems in the
world today. In the fallen world-order of depraved
humanity and the consequent corruption and perversion of
all social structures and institutions, the needs and
problems are never-ending. They go with the territory.
They are part and parcel of the problematic nemesis
brought on by the introduction of sin in the human race.
The question is, though, “What can be done to resolve
these needs and problems of mankind?” Can mankind,
individually or collectively, find solutions and remedies to
rectify the situation? Do Christians have any responsibility
to attempt to deliver and “save” the fallen world-system
