What do you make of this?
Though those who removed the landmarks of God's grace are now talking about the unfathomable decay in the society not minding the fact that sin is a reproach to any nation. Britain and many other nations (Nigeria not exempted) are reaping whirlwind of corruption they have sown through weird and anti-God policies.
Yet no nation can tell (preach) Britain that it has abandoned the God they preached to the world years back, especially if you are from the other side of the divide because you are likely to get a response such as your country or continent needs God more than the Brits do; besides how much of the gospel do you know anyway, if not a cap in hand gospel.

That nation is dying at an alarming rate, strangely some console themselves with false promise of coming revival, but are lackadaisical towards evangelism,
Sin is no longer an issue because it depends on what you consider as sin, the Church is more than careful to preach about sin otherwise you will be labelled a bigot, holier than thou, hate preacher etc. But the Bible says don't be deceived God is not mocked, what a man sows, he will surely reap. This is not limited to Britain or western world, we also have such cases, but we are too perplexed with misrule to think of this evil, a clear case of disobedience to God's law and warm embrace of lawlessness.
Read Lev. 26: 14-34 and see how God deals with nations; to conclude that the law was given to Israel only, is to be ignorant of the fact that Israel was meant to show the world an example of how to live a godly life, however, to avoid subjective interpretation of the natural law in human conscience, it became codified as written law for all mankind .What do we do? if this tingles your ear, it is not a time to say I reject this for my children, IT IS A TIME TO PLEAD FOR GOD'S MERCIFUL INTERVENTION TO STEM THE TIDE OF LAWLESSNESS and not to leave us to a reprobate (self destruct) mind
Debate over boy dad, 13

A boy who became a father aged 13 has provoked a fierce political debate over the high rate of teenage pregnancies in the UK.
The case of baby-faced Alfie Patten - who was aged just 12 when the baby was conceived - exemplified the "complete collapse" of parts of society, it has been claimed.
Conservative leader David Cameron said it showed a worrying trend of "children having children" that had to be stopped, while Children's Secretary Ed Balls said it was "an awful case".
The furore was sparked after Alfie and 15-year-old Chantelle Steadman brought Maisie Roxanne into the world at the Eastbourne District General Hospital, East Sussex.
The UK has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Western Europe, but figures show the number of conceptions among under-16s fell by 1,000 in 2006 to 7,826, compared to ten years earlier.
Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith, who runs the Centre for Social Justice think tank, said the birth highlighted another case of "broken Britain" where "anything goes".
He said: "It's not being accusative, it's about pointing out the complete collapse in some parts of society of any sense of what's right and wrong.
"There is no opprobrium any more about behaviour and quite often children witness behaviour that's aggressive, violent, rude and sexual. It's as if no-one is saying this is wrong."
Prime Minister Gordon Brown did not comment directly on the case but said "all of us would want to avoid teenage pregnancies".
Mr Cameron said: "It is really worrying that in our country today you've got children having children.
"Obviously we all hope that these very, very young children will grow up and be good parents, but frankly parenthood isn't something that they should have been thinking about. That's what's gone wrong and we've got to put it right."
Mr Balls said: "It's just an awful case. It's unusual, it's very rare, but you look at that young lad being a dad when he is so young - and also the teenage girl - and you think it's not right, this looks so terrible. It has got to be sorted out.
"I want those kids to be safe and also the young child as well, and I want us to do everything we can as a society to make sure we keep teenage pregnancies coming down."
"I think like most parents, like most people, I saw that photo today and I was appalled. It's just not right."
Eastbourne Tory MP Nigel Waterson said the birth raised "huge" questions about sex education and the sexualisation of British society.
East Sussex County Council said the teenage parents would be supported with intensive monitoring and health visitor support
