If we are to believe the media about what is going on in our nation it should shake us to the roots; for example:
- Young people spend their leisure time binge drinking themselves to an early grave
- Many men are so emotionally inadequate that the only way they can have sex is by rape or by spiking a woman’s drink.
- Violence in the home and society is on the increase and discipline has reached an all time low in our schools.
- Our government is undermining the institution of marriage, introducing children to sex at the earliest possible age and supporting every minority group at the expense of the majority.
- Going into hospital is bad for your health.
- Vast numbers of people cheat the system every day to make fraudulent claims for benefits.
- Most people will spend the rest of their lives in permanent debt.
- The threat of terrorism is now so real that no one is safe.
- Every religion practised in this country is to be encouraged with the exception of Christianity.
If any of this is even remotely true then something is very seriously wrong with our way of life. Human beings are not evolving to be better; they are degenerating into a life form that lives only to satisfy its own selfish desires and greed.
I believe there is good in most people and that every human being has the potential to live like a child of God given the opportunity. There are still many examples to be found of love that is willing to self-sacrifice for the good of others.
Our society can be turned around if the majority will recognise as they once did their need of God and call out to Him for this nation.
Romans 3 : 22 “We are made right in God’s sight when we trust in Jesus Christ to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, no matter who we are, or what we have done” (N.L.T.)
