family life

   The condition of family life throughout the Caribbean should alert the church to reach across traditional boundary lines to address the problem. No longer could the church afford the luxury of being seen as 'that non-conformist, irrelevant-to-the-times group'. The church  is required to fill all its roles - as a social institution, as a spiritual reformer, as a moral conscience, as hope in the face of decadence, as guide to national leaderships that seem to have lost their way.

Didn't Jesus send His church to disciple the nations? The question should be asked, 'how do we best transform the nation?' Can we truly become nation changers by perpetuating the luxury mentioned above? Shouldn't it be by our recognition of national issues broken down into community and family relevance, by structuring ministry that scratches where people itch, and by putting resources - people, money, time and materials into those critical areas identified? What do you think?
