Operating in today’s environment, calls for intrinsic courage to meet aspirations of social justice and human good. Christ inspires for this very reason. He faced roman oppression, he faced uncalled-for accusations and he embraced a death on a cross, built through the mockery of a trial. The battle for humanity’s soul can still be conquered, but with Christ by our side.

More people must divorce when relationships are built on foundations of lies, deceit, cheating and fraud. There cannot be a second chance for those whose foundations are fake.
