Over the years, I have heard many lament the loss of values that the present world has. I have heard teachers complain about the lack of discipline among the children in their classes. I have heard grandparents worry about the indifference to Christian values in their grandchildren. I have listened to husbands and wives complain about the loss of love in their marriages. I have heard church members complain about the lack of loyalty to God that seems prevalent in our society. All these things and more add up to the urgency of our need for God's Church.
