Right at the outset it needs to be said that this subject is too vast to be handled in one paper.There has been and still is so much being said and written on the subject, so many approaches, strategies, systems and programs have been proposed that it would be presumptuous to think we can come to any definitive methods in this paper.The very nature of Post Modernism defies any definitive definition because at its very core it is subjective and individualistic.It could be said that there are as many varieties of post modernism as what there are post modern thinkers.Each person's views and opinions must, by post-modern definition, carry as much weight as the next.Therefore to propose any specific method is impossible.The methods will vary from place to place, church to church and even from individual to individual.That does not mean however, that there aren't biblical principles to be applied, to establish certain parameters within which to work.

From time to time as Christians, we are blessed by God with the unmistakable sense that we are witnessing the beginnings of a significant and sovereign work of His grace. There is a sense of knowing that what is being achieved would have been impossible, if the Lord Himself was not powerfully, wondrously, graciously and providentially at work.
