What Now - (Text below)

 

Whilst many felt God’s help and guidance before, during and after the Papal visit events, we must not look at this visit as anything other than a judgment of Almighty God. We cannot afford to be self-congratulatory in any way because of the providence's and blessings we saw and witnessed. Rather we should treat this Papal visit as a national warning from the Lord and our need to change our ways and repent of our lukewarm, apathetic and complacent faith and lives. I can see no other reason to account for the shameful situation that only one hundred of the Lord’s people took part in the Protests and gospel witness events, in a country of sixty million souls? This accounts for 0.001666% (less than two thousandth of one percent) of the population of which 72% claimed to be Christian in census of 2001!

I trust this visit has revealed just how far we have plunged into darkness as a nation and will stir people up to prayerful action.  The Pope has now gone, but the eternal Word is still here.  So, I trust the co-operation between the various Protestant Societies and Groups and the fellowship with other brethren at the events will invigorate and inspire us all to a new zeal for God’s glory. 

What we need now is Pastors who are not afraid to proclaim the whole council of God and lead from the front. Likewise, we need faithful believers furnished with their spiritual armour and ready to go to the uttermost parts of the world (whether or not welcomed or invited) teaching and preaching of the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ. 

There are untold opportunities for the proclamation of the Gospel in every community - on the street, in our homes, schools, universities, prisons, old people’s homes, in our work - if we will only ‘go’ in faith. So, let us separate our hearts and minds from the attractions of this world and seek only Christ and His glory. Please don’t hesitate to call me if you’d like help in proclaiming the Word of God in your area – even if you are alone.  

 

Some IMMEDIATE Points of Action

As I was so involved organising, participating and travelling between events I only saw two very short clips of the Popes visit on TV screens in a Motorway Service Area.

However, I have had many comments from others about 1) how much coverage their was of the Papal visit and 2) how biased and unbalanced the coverage was.

If you feel this is true please write to the media involved but particularly the BBC as our Public Service Broadcaster.

All the details of where and how to complain are listed here.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/homepage/ (opens in a new window)

 

Some tips..

  • Please make sure you are concise and factually correct.
  • Make one complaint at a time - don't complain of bias and too much coverage together, for example. Make two separate complaints.
  • Be specific if possible - just saying there was too much coverage will have little effect. Point out how what you normally watched was interfered with, for example, or how other important news stories where not featured because everything was about the Pope. If you watched a programme and there was no Protestant voice for example - name the programme. Be specific, name the programmes, those involved etc - most of this kind of information is available on the BBC website
  • Insist on a reply and make sure you get a satisfactory answer. Don't just accept what they tell you. If you don't get a satisfactory explanation the above link has details of how and to whom to escalate the complaint.

IMPORTANT: If applicable please consider this when complaining. As a Public Service broadcaster shouldn't the BBC  have provided more coverage on the historical significance of the Pope visiting a constitutionally Protestant Country like ours? A country which, of all the worlds Sovereign Countries and Heads of States, only excludes the Pope and his followers from the throne and having any jurisdiction in our country.

Surely this is worthy of more coverage than the mainly homosexual and humanist  'Protest the Pope' groups and campaigners whose complaints had no real long term constitutional significance at all. There can be only two reason for this 1) ignorance and 2) willful bias, and neither are acceptable excuses from a Publicly funded Broadcaster..
