Sacred inwardness: Why secularism has no meaning

Perhaps the real lack of faith in modern society comes down to a lack of reverence for the people around us.

The world is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.
—Psalm 24:1

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.
—Matthew 10:29

I will pause over the word secularism because I don’t know how it should be understood in a Christian context. In contemporary use it means the ground gained in society and culture by agnosticism or atheism as religion recedes.
