It is so important for Christians to think critically about what is going on in the world around them. We live in an age of information overload and the world, as we know it, is increasingly becoming hostile to Biblical truth and how God commands us to live in obedience to Him. We are confronted with what is going on in the world today constantly either on T.V, through the internet and from others who all have a particular view about certain issues like: Euthanasia, Mental Health/ Depression/Suicide, Abortion, Sexuality, IVF, Women’s Rights, human cloning, refugees, divorce, the death penalty etc.

What the Bible teaches might feel like an ancient religion that has little significance to the world that we live in today, but Christian’s believe that the Word of God brings truth, life and a way to navigate the issues of any era (John 14:6).
