God has a church being those who love His message and enjoy meeting and mixing with others who love the same message, the message of Righteousness by Faith and salvation through the merits and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
For our morning and evening worship at home, we are always working through the Bible or a Spirit of Prophecy book, to keep that inspiration fresh and current in our minds.
The title of this newsletter should not come as any surprise. We have surely seen a decline in the morality of our country – some would say for the last fifty odd years, but all alive today have witnessed a dramatic change in current morals.
