I have great Faith in those who are beginning to lead the Church in today’s climate of understanding. It reminds of what happened when the Civil Rights movement began to expose the false image of Segregation.

Is this REALLY true? Is change ALWAYS good? I'm looking at our society today and I can say YES the church has changed significantly especially when it comes to doctrinal integrity... but just look at how the world has changed. Homosexual marriage... pedophilia... child rape... murder on the rise... overall immorality on the rise... this is one of the laziest, most immoral generations that has been in existence in this nation. 15 year olds murder other fifteen year olds. I've been recently getting calls from family about deaths occurring of 15 and 16 year olds killed by other 15 and 16 year olds. I'm not saying all change is good, but can we really look at current events and say we're getting "better" as a society? Really?
I was thinking about it the other day, how instrumental is the church in all this? What role does the church have in a dying and decaying society?
