Dear brothers and sisters

Today I must speak honestly with you, because our country is standing on the edge of great moral darkness. In recent days, we have seen the United Kingdom show itself to be a nation that has turned its back on God. Parliament has now passed an amendment to the abortion law which allows the killing of babies all the way up to birth, with no punishment for it. Alongside this, the Assisted Dying Bill has passed its first stage, meaning we are heading towards a society where people can decide who lives and who dies, as if they were God Himself.

But let us remember: we were created for something far better than this. We were made in God's image, to love Him, to glorify Him, and to enjoy Him forever. “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honour and power, for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed and were created.” (Revelation 4:11, LSB). We are not called to worship God only when life is comfortable or easy, but in every circumstance—even when everything around us seems dark.

The actions of our country today remind us of the Canaanites in the Old Testament, who sacrificed their children to the false god Molech. God commanded His people, “You shall not give any of your seed to pass over to Molech, so as to profane the name of your God; I am Yahweh.” (Leviticus 18:21, LSB). And what happened to the Canaanites? God judged them, and the land itself rejected them because their sin was so great.

If there has ever been a time when the United Kingdom needed prayer, it is now. If there has ever been a time when people needed to turn back to God and cry out for mercy, it is today. We, as God's people, must humble ourselves, fall to our knees, and pray with broken and contrite hearts, asking God to have mercy on this nation before His judgment comes fully upon us.

Church, this is not the time for half-hearted prayers. This is not the time to be lukewarm. This is the time to pray—seriously, earnestly, and with purpose. Let us pray for our leaders, that God would convict them of their sin and turn their hearts to what is right. Let us weep for the unborn and the elderly whose lives are treated as worthless by our laws, even though they are precious in God's sight. Let us pray for true biblical revival in the United Kingdom, because only Jesus can soften our hard hearts and heal our land.

May God have mercy on us, so that we are not swept away in this flood of sin. Now is the time to humble ourselves, seek His face, and stand in the gap for our nation.

It is time to pray.

Your fellow servant in Christ,

Francois
