    church cannot force people to become good but the true and unadulterated truth can transform lives where are the churches ? where are the evangelist where are the preachers and teachers ? ” for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God “

      Unfortunately not every ”church” is preaching the gospel as it is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 so they are not seeing the results promised in Romans 1:16, and 2 Corinthians 5:17!

      The more evangelical a church is – the more it truly preaches the way of salvation and gives people an opportunity to receive Christ as their Savior according to John 1:11,12 and Revelation 3:20 – the greater the results will be :!:

      As an evangelist I take a no compromise position on the issues of sin and tell the people they ”… must be born again” according to John 3:7. I preach the cross! We are seeing hearts changed and lives transformed by the power of the gospel in nation after nation. The message Jesus gave still has power to save :!:

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

      ”…the true and unadulterated truth can transform lives…”

      The truth about who Jesus is and what He did on the cross to purchase our salvation and put our sins away and rose again does indeed transform lives when it is believed.

      This is the truth that heals. It delivers us from the guilt of the past and the fear of tomorrow.

      The Bible says:

      ”Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, …” ( 2 Corinthians 5:17,18)

      Sincerely, Rev. Donald Hill. Evangelist.

    What could cause people to change so much. They were once innocent babies and children.
    They need the blessing and grace of God to live a godly life and live in peace with their fellow people.
    They are also idle people. Satan finds some mischief for idle hands to do. I also like to say, idle minds and feet.
    May God convert them into useful nationals for their benefit, that of other nationals and of their souls.

    The cases on buggery. Anyone know whether the perpetrators are same sex, or alternative sex and whether condoms were used? Condoms are important not only for health, but who wants to be the offdpring of an anal intervention.

      your concern is questionable.

    Why is Matt still going on and on and on about Joshua, as if there are no more important things going on. No need for a mediator Matt. I am sure his party is quite capable of dealing with the matter and your name is not King Solomon. I would prefer if you would concentrate on the victims of these crimes.
