was
‘curiously
moved’
after
a
young
Deliveroo
cyclist
stopped
alongside him and
asked if he believed
in the Lord Jesus.
In his regular The Times column, Parris, a former Conservative
MP, wrote:
‘I replied that I’m sure Jesus
existed, and love and respect the character
whose description has come down to us
through the ages, but that I do not believe
he was the Son of God, and do not believe in
God at all. ‘“But He said He was,” said the
young man. I replied that Jesus probably was
under a misapprehension. The cyclist paused
to think. ‘Well,’ he said, ‘Jesus loves you even
if you won’t acknowledge him. I will pray for
you.’ And with that, he cycled off. I walked on, curiously moved.’
Porn prevalence
The Christian Institute
More than half of British men under the
age of 40 admit to watching porn at least
once a month, a YouGov survey revealed;
and almost 60% of them watched porn
before they reached 18.
Vanessa Morse, chief executive of
the
Centre to End All Sexual Exploitation, said:
‘These shocking statistics show the prevalence
of children watching harmful pornography
at a young age.’ Under the Online Safety
Bill, websites risk large fines and could be
blocked if they do not implement suitable
age-verification systems to prevent children
accessing pornographic material. However,
the new legislation is not expected to be in
force until 2024.
