"I am a creature of a day, passing through life as an arrow through the air. I am a spirit come from God and returning to God : just hovering over the great gulf, till, a few moments hence, I am no more seen; I drop into an unchangeable eternity. I want to know one thing — the way to heaven : how to land safe on that happy shore. God Himself has condescended to teach the way; for this very end He came from heaven. He hath written it down in a book. O give me that book! At any price, give me the book of God! ... Here is knowledge enough for me. Let me be

Text Box: How desperately modern Britain needs to hear, not a trendy human rights message, not some anaemic social gospel, not a creed based on the secular psychology of self-esteem, but a Biblical call to repentance. Our society is in an absolute mess, precisely because it has abandoned its Christian foundations. We are in a mess, quite simply, because of sin. One particular example of how society is deteriorating is the problem of indiscipline in our schools. It is no secret, as any teacher in many a State school will tell you, that many pupils now behave with an insolence which would have been unthinkable, say, forty years ago. The root cause of this problem is that children have been encouraged to think in terms of their rights, rather than their responsibilities. The teacher is now someone who can be sued, rather than as a figure of authority who must be respected. Liberal educational philosophies do nothing to help the situation. This failure to acknowledge superior authority is ultimately a spiritual problem, and it is a problem which effects all society. Failure to believe in the one true Trinitarian God is a refusal to accept the authority under which we are all called to live. As we observe the deterioration of our national life, we must realise that the ultimate source of the crisis is the one fundamental fact of the sin of man, rebelling against the authority of his Maker. There is a pride and a sinfulness in the human heart, which must be radically dealt with. We shall never solve society's problems by throwing Government money at them. The need of the hour is for individuals to repent of their sin, and to come to Jesus Christ, who, out of love for us, warned us, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:3).
