THE THREE QUESTIONS BEFORE MODERN RELIGION:
What Has Entered the Faith? What Does the City Worship?
Did You Come Near?
Modern religion faces an ancient examination.
The buildings have changed.
The languages have changed.
The economies have changed.
The technologies have changed.
Even the idols have changed their clothing.
But the human heart has not escaped the questions
that confronted Judah in the days of Isaiah,
Athens in the days of Paul,
and the religious traveler on the road to Jericho.
Three questions emerge from these biblical landscapes:
What has entered the faith?
What does the city worship?
Did you come near?
The first examines assimilation.
The second examines allegiance.
The third examines mercy.
Together they ask whether religion still belongs to God—
or whether it has quietly absorbed the gods of its age
while preserving the vocabulary of faith.
