Humanity

Genesis 11:1-7
The Tower of Babel
"1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar. 4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” 5 But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. 6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them. 7 Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city. 9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth."

James 4:14
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Psalm 103:15
As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;

Psalm 102:11
My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.

2 Peter 3:1-7
1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder), 2 that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us,[a] the apostles of the Lord and Savior, 3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, 6 by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. 7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.


The beginning of humanity. The beginning of civilisation. Men has always strive to make a name for himself. It was the case with the tower of babel.

We have sought to understand the workings of the universe. Sought to understand humanity by our quest for inventions and discoveries.

Technology has advanced leaps and bounds in recent years. Stem cell technology, artificial genome and conscience and morally disturbing discoveries has been making the headlines recently.

As a scientist myself, I do not question whether these things as of itself is wrong. I question the heart of humanity instead. Are we trying to really improve life? Or are we trying to make a name for ourselves, to declare our superiority over God who created us?

Man hasn't got a clue to why humanity is on the decay, on the decline. It is not through scientific breakthroughs, not through moral debates, not through government, not through indepth understanding of the workings of the universe and life that is going to solve its deepest and darkest problem.

In fact we have opened an pandora box of reflection.

Has life in fact got better? Has humanity finally head towards real success? Is life worth preserving through the attempt of prolonging life? What is life pursuit that we want just to live on and on and on?

What is humanity? What is the DNA of humanity?

Why do we work so hard to the sweat of our brow?

Why is God so forsaken by humanity today? Has our understanding of life, really understanding???

We have scoffers of today that begin to question God as creator simply because it looks that apparently man is beginning to "manipulate" life.

How foolish that is? Honestly, we understand absolutely ZERO, zits! The complexity of life...do think we can transfer, engineer genes makes us masters of life? NO!!! Who made the dust? God. Who made genes in the first place? Who made protons, photons and neutrons?

I think Christians ought to be scoffers instead to brilliant discoverers and scientists who think they know it all, when in fact they know nothing.

I look around and I see what really troubles men is sin. Sin pervasiness affects everyone. Recently, I have encountered so many people, and amazingly so many people afflicted with sickness. Especially cancer. Suffering is everywhere. It is EVERYWHERE!!! The canopy of sin really is heavy on all of humanity. For saints, for Christians, suffering is the school of strenght to learn the worth of eternity, the worth of God, the worth of heaven on earth, and heaven, the dwelling abode of God.

The result of sin entering into humanity is the root of all suffering. Humanity true salvation is God. If science seperates us from God, let science be accursed, let science be anethema! Because God is the God of science, God is the God of humanity, God rules and reigns and can only alone satisfy the spiritual fulfilment of mankind, the alpha and omega of everything.

All is vanity. No matter what we pursue, it would be a pursuit under the sun. The sun that God created. Even the most amazing discovery in human observation would never come close to the new heavens and new earth that God says He would create in time to come.

What foolishness we all are if we seek to think we can find absolute fulfilment through the news of man's accomplisment.

My God and My Lord is the answer.

Jesus is the LORD of all. He made the world and in Him all things consists! Colossians 1:17 says, "And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."

So Christians, march with the doctrine of God, contend earnestly for the faith that is once delivered to the saints. Because only this message saves humanity with the true message or real hope and pursuit of life.

Nothing else. Do not shirk this God given responsibility. Let the foolishness of the cross be the wisdom of God.

Love covers a multitude of sins. Love is the heart of humanity. And God is the author of love.

I beseech you with the love of Christ.
