ERONGO Governor, Cleophas Mutjavikua, says Namibia should bring back Bible studies to schools in order to win the war on the rampant abuse of women and children.
Addressing the 7th Women Summit in Swakopmund, Mutjavikua said demonstrations and lighting candles only show the problem. “We need to find a strategy to solve this problem; not just talk about it,” he said at the opening of the Summit in the coastal town reported The Namibian
He said part of this strategy would be to reintroduce Bible studies in schools which were scrapped after Independence resulting in a notable decline in moral societal values. “Children do not even go to church anymore. They grow up in front of the television and on cellphones,” he said.
Biblical Model from the Bible
The Lord desires for the family unit to once again thrive with the husband as the head of the family who loves and nurtures his wife and children. Christian homes that are in God's order will produce happy and loving families. Many cultures throughout history made women mere items or property of the man. When Jesus came, He truly liberated women to be restored to their proper place in a marriage. The Biblical model for marriage is a partnership between a husband and wife, where both parties love and respect each other. Cultures and societies without the Bible's influence usually repress and use the women and even the children. Betty Miller
Prayer:
Grant the people from Namibia
the knowledge that we need,
To solve the questions of the mind.
Light Thou our candles, while we read,
To keep our hearts from going blind.
Enlarge our vision to behold,
The wonders Thou hast wrought of old!"
Words of Henry Van Dyke
Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people he chose for his inheritance. Psalms 33:12
