MPs are ignorant about true Christianity

The vital and crucial need of our time is for gospel revival, for churches to experience more of the power of God at work in their midst, both in maturing the faith of believers, but also in saving sinners.

In his first letter, the Apostle Peter says that judgement begins in the house of God (1 Peter 4:17) and I’m convinced that in these strange, uncertain times, God is manifestly at work. He is refining us, shaping us, cleansing us and reminding us of our deep dependence on Him.

Yet 2020 has also highlighted that the evangelical church is not just on the fringe of society, we are way down the priority list as far as government is concerned. We merited not even one mention in Prime Ministerial press conferences. Total ignorance among Ministers about true Christianity is the order of the day. Whatever was left of our Christian heritage has long since vanished. Secularism and indifference, if not outright hostility, has taken over.
