An article in ChristianToday is just an example of what happens when churches become lazy in preaching.

I would like to see these Bishops form a choir singing "Imagine there's heaven, imagine there's no hell, no religion, imagine there's no God too..."

According to Slashdot, some attributed the availability of free services, to a society without much poverty problem and having too much extra time.

Understandable; Nonetheless, if this happens, the true value of human nature vs individuals will be revealed.

Historically, I'm sure there are countless repititions of such perpetual shifts.

USATODAY reports new growing treatment (experimental) for encouraging teachers in the States. I must say I am very pessimistic about it. Salary based on level of degree, students' test scores, seniority, etc. may help in some ways, however, it may not work well in the long term. Basically, teachers and students would learn how to be spoiled. Americans love to solve everything with money alone, instead of proper research which costs more heartaches, headaches and suffering in addition to $.

On the other hand, their failure may encourage REAL teachers to step in, silently, and with temperance.

With the recent Melamine scandals in Asia, I sometimes wonder the validity of the so called higher traditional moral value of the Chinese.

Is Western culture/technology to be blamed for this kind of corruption as if the unintended opium war? or perhaps the Chinese civilization had been spared under the universal grace of God until now?
