In an Editorial in our local paper I am told that it is common knowledge that criminal offending has its beginning in a set of social issues.

Are you connected?

Six social issues are listed, namely:

• Disconnection from society,
• an appalling lack of effective health services,
• drug and alcohol addiction,
• unemployment,
• lack of education and
• poverty.

I want to add one more social issue that needs urgently to be addressed, because it is in fact the main issue. Once we start addressing this main issue we will also be successful in addressing the other issues.

The main issue is our lack in worshiping our creator. We must come back to worship God in spirit and in truth.

The trouble is that most people of this nation are not connected with the Lord Jesus Christ.
