FROM YOUR VICAR
Do all things without murmuring and
arguing, so that you may be blameless and
innocent, children of God without blemish in
the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, in which you think like stars in
the world. (Philippians 2:14-15)
St. Paul reminds us that we are called to
lead a blameless and pure life without fault.
Blameless and innocent - these two words
speak of moral purity. Blameless simply
means a life that cant be criticized. There is
nothing for which we can be held
responsible by way of sin, evil, wickedness,it is a life without blame. it is a life that has
no blemish, no blot in it, no sinful stain
which people can discern and see. In the
midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, here Paul borrows a phrase
from the song of Moses in Deuteronomy
32:5. In Deuteronomy Moses characterised
apostate Israel as a crooked and perverse
nation. The whole world in which the church
exists is the same. In Matthew 10:16 where
Jesus says Be wise as serpents and
innocent as doves. We are living in the
midst of a crooked and perverse
generation. Please note we are in the midst
of it. Jesus said in John 17 when He prayed
to the Father I am not going to ask you
take them out of the world, Im going to ask
you to keep them in the world. Proverbs
2:15 describes the society of this world in
these terms. It says, their paths are
crooked, and they are devious in their ways.
Gods word is a lamp for our feet and a light
on our path (Ps 119:105). The divine truth
that God reveals through the Holy Spirit
helps us to find the true light that illumines
us to live a righteous life in a crooked anddepraved generation. Jesus said you are
the light of the world. Let your light shine
before men, that they may see your good
works and praise your Father in
heaven (Mat 15:14 and 16)
Single handily one person may not
overcome all the power of darkness. But
remember that the little light that is lit in you
cannot be extinguished by the darkness if it
keeps on burning and emitting light. Can we
be that light? Remember, we are lighted to
lighten! A single candle can light many more
candles, and yet never lose the glow with
which it started burning.
May God Bless you all
With prayers.
