William Barclay wrote the following,''The pagan world was an unclean world.The pagan world did not know the meaning of chastity....in Rome
unwanted children,especially girls,were literally thrown away.Every night
numbers of them were left lying in the forum.They were collected by dreadful characters,who ran brothels,and nurtured up to be prostitutes.''In the 19th century,God raised up a man called William Booth,who was the founder of the Salvation Army,and although England was a supposedly Christian country,such was the state of the country among a great deal of the population,he wrote a book called .'Darkest England'.It took a long time but thankfully things changed,much of it due to Christian influence.God used the Salvation Army,and many other Christian to bring changes for the better.Yet in so many places in this world the sex trade is active,drug barons
ply their trade,much evil is being perpetrated by Godless religions,and so many other dark powers.As I look back on history it seems as soon as one evil is put down,another stands in to take its place.The word of God tells us
that the days are evil[Ephesians 5 v16],that this a spiritual evil,on earth,and in the heavenly realms[Ephesians 6v12]The need of the hour is great and will become even worse,only as we are surrendered to God,will we be able to stand,and make a difference,and we can ,remember David the giant killer.
A prayer.
Dear God there is so much darkness in this world,help us your children,to make a difference,use us to bring the message of our Saviour,to those who sit in darkness,in His name we ask this Amen.
