the church must rise up to the challenge

isn't it ironic how silent the church is, especially at acritical time than ever when the very values and foundations of the Christian world are being buffeted and attcked from every possible angle.

the world is greatly in need of true leadership, a moral compass in the face of a redefinition of the basic fundamentals of the Christian faith. for example, according to the United Nations, a family can be defined as two men, two women, a man and a woman, or a man or a woman.

and what is the response of the church? we are looking the other way, we are busy chasing after money, wealth and success while the very foundation of any system, the family, is under sustained attack.

and how can we effectively deal with the AIDS scourge if we don't have strong families. the key to any strong healthy nation, an effective response to the AIDS pandemic begins with strong families. the church should rise up and begin to respond with the same passion as the proponents of this new moral order. it is time for the church to stand up for and speak up with one voice and defend the family institution. we don' t need men and women, we need mothers and fathers, not love for power but the power of love.
