In each case, they have good reasons to counter the arguments put forward by the remarkably opaque Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, whose inability to explain what he has in mind is becoming legendary.
The two sides in this argument are different not because one wants progress and the other wants the good old days, but because they have a different analysis of what needs to be done to strengthen the NHS.
The same might be said about the proposals from the government to redefine marriage. In a desire to emphasise equality, some think that a changed definition would solve the problems. Others take a different view. Changing the definition about marriage is not quite like changing the offside rule in football.
If you want to resist this proposed change in the definition of marriage, please sign the petition in our Coffee Shop, or go online at www.c4m.org.uk
St. Paul encouraged his friends in Rome to resist some changes, but to welcome others. ' Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. (Romans 12.2)
As we can see, Paul sees that we should resist the changes from the world around us, but co-operate with the changes which the Lord wants to bring into our lives. Our thinking can be reshaped, if we spend time reflecting and thinking through what the will of God might be, in each situation. We would be changed, others blessed and God glorified. Sounds good to me!
Best wishes,
