Ulster – Part of a Christian country or of a Secular state?
Sometimes it is good for society to pause and reflect on its direction and attitude; no more so than now. The national audit office concludes that ours is a Christian country, as does our Monarch, Queen Elizabeth 2nd; our government and laws are predicated to the Word of God; as a nation, our moral values and principles are paralleled to the Moral Law comprehended in the Ten Commandments. In general, as a Christian country, our ethics reflect Motive, Standard and Purpose; all of these serve to reflect the glory of Almighty God.
However, there is a determined effort being made to secularise our nation and to remove the principles, values and morals of Biblical Christianity. Christian values are being discredited and derided; Christian practices are being challenged to the detriment of our civil and religious liberty. The existence of God is openly and publicly denied; Creationism is disdained and discriminated against. The time has come for careful reflection as to our position on whether we consider Ulster to be Christian or Secular.
Rev Mervyn Cotton.
