Win war against crime by turning to God

Speaking last week at an interfaith service at the St Michael’s and All Angels Anglican Church, Diamond Vale, Wong said the present crime situation and the gang violence has the put the country on a track where no one feels safe.

“Each one of us has been touched by the present crime situation in our country. Gang violence is an attack, not only on individuals and our communities but on the rights and freedom which is enshrined in our constitution.

It prevents the elderly from taking walks in their neighbourhood, it creates an environment of fear.

Some believe that our nation has reached a point of no return.

While these factors cause despair we are reminded in scripture that with God nothing is impossible,” she said.

Wong said during this period of distress, uncertainty and hardship citizens need to be faithful and fervent in prayer.

“It’s during times like these we are reminded of our responsibility to humble ourselves before Almighty God. We cannot expect healing for our nation if we do not obey God through his holy Word.
