Actors and Actresses didn't adopt children unless they were married. And not many people flaunted their "sinful" ways. Today, "anything goes" and "if it feels good, it must Be good." And now we have Oprah telling people that they are their own god, that there is no sin and no need of redemption. And she's influencing over three million television viewers with her New Age cult. <BR/><BR/>The Church and all churches have a God-given mandate to preach the truth and to speak the truth in love.<BR/><BR/>Humanity is following the crooked road to destruction.

The relativistic, secular, humanist ideology is at the core of the problem but their stranglehold within the UK political system affecting education as well as law and order, and of course almost total control of the media makes it nigh on impossible to make for change. However, change is what is required. A new direction must be established. And where do we find this 'new' direction - simple, it's all there, within the Gospels of Our Lord Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>The Good News is there and we still ignore it at our peril.Georgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031618301013986930noreply@blogger.com
