Good Conduct in This World
China said on Wednesday that a third baby had died and more than 6,000 infants were ill as it grappled with a festering melamine-contaminated milk scandal involving one of its biggest dairy producers, Sanlu Group, which came to light only last week.
Melamine, an industrial chemical used to make plastics and fertilisers, is rich in nitrogen and when mixed in milk, can make its protein level appear higher than what it actually is. It is banned in food production. – Bernama (an article from www.thestar.com.my).
Having a baby, I know it would be very hard if they-such innocent creatures who can’t yet communicate well besides crying- happened to be unwell. And imagining the amount of 6,000 infants were ill (and today’s paper stated that it has already affected 50,000 babies in China), it would be a real disaster.
How could a producer do that? Or how could a farm mix its fresh milk with melamine and sell it to the market? It happened and proved there are many people who got brains-very clever- but don’t have clear conscience. It’s our duty as God’s children to maintain our good conduct in this world, in the holiness and sincerity, so that we can avoid doing those kind of things. (-fon-)
Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace.
--- 2 Corinthians 1:12
