Church lays emphasis on importance of religion

TURA: In a world plagued by materialistic greed, religion can play a very important role in making a humane society and Christians can be the defining factor in this regard feels Rev. Dr Christian Abraham Benjamin, who is in Tura as the main speaker for the ongoing 145th A’chik Baptist Dalgipa Krima Soba.
Addressing a mammoth crowd at his first sermon in the Dikki Bandi Stadium on Thursday evening, the National Director of the Far East Broadcasting Associate (FEBA), Rev. Benjamin expressed sadness over the manner people’s lives have been changing with everyone thinking only for themselves and not caring for others.He cited an instance some years ago when he witnessed an accident in his city when no one came forward to help the injured.
“I was on a scooter with my little daughter when I witnessed an accident between a scooter and a motorbike. The man on the motorbike was bleeding profusely and many vehicles stopped to see what happened and then carried on without helping him.
Since no one came forward to help we tried to carry him to the nearest hospital, but he sadly passed away before medical help could reach him. The world will look at one’s agony and pain but will not step forward to help,” lamented Rev. Benjamin.
