A Bloggin MinuteTwin babies have been killed by their whanau or caregivers and it's sad to think that maybe they could have been spared if the ones entrusted with their care had 'found God' through a church that organised the 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' protests. I say "could have found God" because the media and various Members of Parliament came out and callously slandered the Christ- loving church (Destiny church) for having the 'audacity' to speak out about the moral degeneration of our small country.
It will be God who will bring an end to the bashings and killings, not an act of Parliament nor more money thrown at Social Service agencies already struggling with the burden of a society gone wrong. The Destiny church (NZ) has a proven track record of bringing the hope of Christ to the lost and the outcast and should be honoured, and those who would dare to call what is 'good' evil, have their agendas exposed in the very media that supports them.
"What Can We Do For The Kahuis" this from this weeks Real Issues email from www.maxim.org.nz
The nation has been transfixed this week by the tragic deaths of Chris and Cru Kahui. They join a long list of children killed in this country, many by their own families. We are stunned by such evil, and we rush to find someone to blame: the family, the Plunket nurse, the social worker, the hospital, the fragmented state of government services. This family has fallen off the top of every cliff there is, and we want to know who was in charge of the fencing.
But as the politicians promise a cross-party working group and CYFS review their procedures, it is easy to lose track of a few things. The most important is that Chris and Cru were killed by a person, not a race, not a context, nor a system. There are many beneficiaries, many poor, many unemployed, many alcoholics and many people from dysfunctional families of all races, who do not and will not kill their children. It is the perpetrator of this crime who is truly responsible.
No law can force people to be good, but the government can weaken or strengthen those things which restrain, encourage and warn. It can set a context in which it is easy or hard to be good, in which it is easy or hard to abuse. Research has shown us many of the factors which set the context of abuse: family breakdown, the loss of biological connection, poverty, unemployment, teen pregnancy, educational failure, substance abuse and ill-health, to name a few. The government can examine what it is doing in those areas to strengthen families, remove rigid laws and promote good ones.
An individual's decision to obey the law is shaped by the family, community and culture to which they belong. The bonds of affection, shame and conscience which are forged by that culture restrain most of us. They snapped this time, for this family. When we ask who is responsible, and what we can do, it is helpful to remember that the government can only do so much to shape the environment in which a person lives. Bonds of affection and strength of character are built by neighbours and friends, by churches and sports clubs and schools, by families and community initiatives. If we want to make them stronger, perhaps we should begin there.

The chances of finding God through the Destiny Church are approximately zero.
Thanks for your comment, 'not steven'. You might not think so but you might agree that the church is doing a wonderful job supporting young people and families all through the country. And they are teaching these people how to have a relationship with our mighty God, Jesus Christ and about His Holy Spirit who will transform lives and give freedom from sin. Great aye?
No, they are not doing that. They are encouraging people how to confuse Satan with God, and coercing them into paying 10% of their wages. Their organisers are wicked people, and the fewer people who support their anti-God campaign, the better.
Encouraged does not mean threatened with eternal damnation. Members are coerced.
If you earn $300 a week, that leaves you with $211.50 a week after tax and tithe. Now, if you're raising a family, you try living off $211.50 a week, and then see if, after that, it's "only $30".
You say tithing is scripturally required - and indeed it is - but not of Christians, just of Jews. It is contained in Mosaic law, which was abolished by Jesus, as per Ephesians 2:15 and Colossians 2:14.
And, yes, community work does cost. And if you want me to believe that Destiny uses 100% of its tithed income (that doesn't go into renting meeting rooms) on community work, or even nearly that, pull the other one. If the aim really was community work, the 10% could be used directly by the followers to be put into community work.
I stand by what I say. Brian Tamaki is an evil man, and is using his cult to further the causes of Satan, and anyone who follows him is aiding him in that process.
