If it was not evident already, there is something awfully wrong with modern Britain. We have never been perfect, but we used to be the envy of the world: ruling the sea, leading innovation, building great nations, and spreading the Gospel to every corner of the Empire, but we have waned and been humbled. Now we face a new wave of issues, problems including:
- Increased social divisions
- Uncontrolled migration
- Social conditioning
- Loss of national identity
- Demoralisation
- Media manipulation
- Increased degeneracy
- Fiscal irresponsibility
- Political corruption
- Increased crime
- Radicalisation
- Terrorist attacks
- Social disorder
- Two-tier injustice
- Reduced fertility
- Increased abortion
- Increased welfare
- Decline militarily
- Decline of churches
- Declining education
- Persecution of Christians
- Increased false doctrines
- Curtailing of freedom
- Reduced sovereignty
- Insecure infrastructure
- Environmental extremism
- Consolidation of wealth/power
Many of these are related and there are clear interconnections, but we cannot point to one earthly thing as the problem or earthly solutions, The cause of all this is godlessness, the country and her people becoming detached from God and not keeping His ways. We are reaping the consequences of what we have sown by not heeding God's instructions.
There is far more at play than a rogue religion or race, a traitorous political party or foreign enemy. Satan is at work, and will manipulate and use every single thing that is not rooted in Christ, and can even exploit sin and weakness in you and I, if we are not vigilant. But thanks to God, with the smallest of faith mountains can be moved and Jesus can solve any issue.
