In 2010:
42 million babies worldwide were murdered while still in the womb; the pornography industry in the US alone grossed over $15 billion; in the West, homosexuals pressed ahead with normalising aberrant sexual activity – the Anglican Church lapped it up; 15 million children starved to death worldwide; a judge decided that Canada’s anti-prostitution laws are contrary to the values of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, thus guaranteeing the continued enslavement of girls to their pimps – who very much appreciate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms; Christians were murdered all over the place – usually by Muslims – just because they were Christians; and Rowan Williams, along with many other church leaders, waffled mightily about next to nothing while no-one listened.
So here is the exquisite setting of Psalm 51 by Gregorio Allegri: “Miserere mei, Deus”, “Have mercy on me, O God”
Oh, and Happy New Year.
And Islamic extremists started the year as they intend to continue.
A car bomb explosion outside a Coptic Christian church in Egyptian City of Alexandria has killed at least 21 people and injured 43
I suppose they’re consistent….
My soul hungers and thirsts after righteousness – I can hardly stand in the sight of our wickedness, Oh Lord.
Thank you for the music, David. I have filled my dwelling with Gregorian chants throughout this Christmas season, as well as this very same version of the Miserere. I love our church music(thank you for your ministry!) but I long for the beauty and intricacies of my past at this time of year!
Thanks, David, for these chilling statistics (42m *people*, not just babies). Can you give a source for this, so we can check it out, and be ready? I mean, ready when we quote this (as I for one will), otherwise we’ll get the answer (you know the one) “Oh, it’s just something you got off the internet!” (ie. bogus; maybe just 42 people were murdered).
John,
There are some statistics here.
Many thanks, David, very useful site.
