NZ Herald Article: Students told 'Unwed Women Cheap Prostitutes'


The headline on the story below (see link), is unfortunate... You'll never win souls for Christ by abusing people, a fact that wasn't lost on our Saviour and Lord. You may remember the scripture in John chapter 8 where Christ was asked about the fate of a woman caught in adultery. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." he said.
However, the issue here is really about the task of getting the gospel to the masses and fulfilling the Great Commission outlined in Matthew 28 . I'm sure that you would agree that society has gone through a metamorphosis over the last century. I believe this is as a result of tremendously successful strategies implemented by the Progressive Movement to replace Christian values in the West with liberal secular values.
Promiscuity has been popularised; Marriage and the values of the nuclear family attacked and laid to waste. The ten commandments replaced with one: "Do whatever you want and don't let anyone tell you to do otherwise." The cost to the next generation has seen them sentenced to a life of chaos and servitude. Impoverished, working class slaves to the elite and they don't even know it.
But worse than all of this. The gospel of truth is once more being hidden and countless millions stand to go to their graves hoping that a life well lived will save them. Never having heard the most important scriptures about salvation in the bible. Romans 3:10 "There is none righteous, not even one." Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, all fall short of the glory of God." And Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death but the freely given gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord."
So can this be changed and how would we go about doing it. I believe the answer is yes and it involves the remnant of true and faithful Christian's in the world today. The scripture 2 Chronicles 7:14 says this "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
