Point 3
A light to the world in culture / society.
We live in a post Christian society.
There was a time when most Australians would go to church.
There is now a time of apathy.
There is also a growing animosity toward the church.
Many of the ethics, morals that we hold are seen as archaic – old fashioned – get with the times!
We often miss something rich and amazing about the church.
It was the church that emphasized care for the sick and established hospitals, schools, the basis of science in the west is because there was a belief that the world was created with order through an omnipotent God.
The reason why we focus on minorities so much in this country is because of the Christian ethic of looking out for the downtrodden, the widow, the disabled, the child with no father nor mother.
