What happens when the family, church,\u00a0and government in any country, nation, society,\u00a0or\u00a0community is weighed on the scales of righteousness, justice,\u00a0and moral decency and found to be lacking? I\u00a0can tell you what the result is! It is the quick erosion of critical standards that makes the family, church and government strong pillars in society and a refuge in adverse times.<br><br>In recent years, months,\u00a0and now days,\u00a0our country\u00a0has\u00a0witnessed and experienced both mysterious and heinous crimes that have sent shock waves throughout the nation. Fear has\u00a0gripped the hearts of many as human life becomes a substance of trade, trafficking,\u00a0and sacrifice. No one is exempt\u00a0or\u00a0off limits, so it seems! It appears that we have welcomed and unleashed evil and sinister forces clothed in human flesh against the souls of the virtuous, innocent,\u00a0and ignorant. Evil\u00a0has\u00a0not only visited our shores\u00a0but has also\u00a0been given legal grounds\u00a0to\u00a0stay and operate. Now we can hear the cries\u00a0of\u00a0families and friends throughout the land. It\u2019s a cry that goes beyond the pains of loss! It is a cry for us to return to the standards that\u00a0hold\u00a0a nation together; morality, justice,\u00a0righteousness,\u00a0etc.<br><br>Hence, when will we as families return to the discarded values and morals of the past? Where are the parents\u00a0who\u00a0are committed to raising their children in the fear and admonishment of God? Where are the families that understand it takes a village? Who and what is pioneering the next generation? Where are our standards? What have we compromised and corrupted\u00a0morally and spiritually that is robbing our children of their current and future potentials? It is time\u00a0for\u00a0the family\u00a0to\u00a0return\u00a0to its values and roots;engaging\u00a0wisdom to\u00a0navigate\u00a0these unprecedented times<\/p><div id=\"antig-3512294603\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:100\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:342\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:256\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div><div id=\"antig-3210040178\" class=\"antig-content_12 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ablpag\" aria-label=\"ABLP_Red-&#038;-Reddy_Web_1000x250\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ABLP_Red-Reddy_Web_1000x250.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ABLP_Red-Reddy_Web_1000x250.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ABLP_Red-Reddy_Web_1000x250.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ABLP_Red-Reddy_Web_1000x250.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Next,\u00a0when will the Church realign herself fully with the true purpose for her existence? Where can we find a church that knows, remembers,\u00a0and practices its mandate to build and expand the Kingdom of God; instead of advancing its status on social media void of the power needed to transform its society?\u00a0Where is the Church? Where is the praying church? Where is the church that will turn the world around it \u201cupside\u201d down with the gospel? Where are her standards of truth, righteousness, holiness,\u00a0and justice? The Body of Christ is the only authentic force to deal with the evil that has come to our shores. Today we need the Church to\u00a0rise\u00a0to her rightful place of influence and guidance in this Country.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2540252763\" class=\"antig-content antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"culinary\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:843\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:843\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:132\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:450\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:337\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:675\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1920\/h:842\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/culinary-scaled.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1124\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Which\u00a0brings\u00a0me to our elected officials. When will politicians and governmental leaders return to their assignments as elected officials? Where are the elected officials\u00a0whocannot be bought with power, money,\u00a0and sex? Where are the government leaders that understand and practice the dynamics of servant leadership to fulfill their duties as public servants? When elected officials trade their dignity and integrity for power the Will of the people gets lost in the transaction. And the nation becomes like a city without walls, where evil is permitted to run rampant with no accountability or sustainable consequences. Where are the standards that will secure justice for all?<br><br>I know it seems like there are more questions than answers; but in my view,\u00a0it will always be that way until these three powerful institutions find a way to coexist and work together for the good of the people and the nation. Remember a\u00a0three-stranded chord is not\u00a0broken\u00a0easily! When the family, church,\u00a0and government are working together it increases the natural safety and spiritual security of the people. In such\u00a0cases,\u00a0evil and wickedness are kept in\u00a0check, while standards for justice and righteousness are implemented and\u00a0practiced\u00a0to exalt the nation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His Servant,<\/p><div id=\"antig-737704808\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500 (1)\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/500X500-1.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Man from Cedar Grove<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-2744456716\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Man from Cedar Grove Dear Editor, What happens when the three most powerful institutions in any country, nation, society,and community are corrupted and compromised?
