An ancient church is being restored by volunteers after it was ruined by vandals. St Mary Magdalene’s in Caldecote, Hertfordshire, was damaged on Thursday, 10 days after it had reopened following its nine-month renovation costing £150,000. The Grade-II medieval building saw in excess of £5,000 worth of damage after trespassers smashed windows, set off powder fire extinguishers and poured bleach over the pews and wooden floor. www.yahoo.com/news/vandals-desecrate-ancient-church-just-083400162.html

Once upon a time, I'd have shook my head and wondered, "what is wrong with people?" But I know the answer - it's man's fallen nature, and then you stack on top of that, the behavior of the world as predicted to occur during the end times. This is sad. What came to mind as a description was this: "Punk behavior backed by ancient evil." It's unfortunate that the director of the charity Friends for Friendless Churches thinks of the help this way, "That people have reached into their pockets to support putting this right has restored my faith in the world." If she were standing in front of me, I'd have to respond with something like, "How's your faith in God? This looks to me like a move of God to restore His church. Clearly, God is not finished with the people of Caldecorte, Hertfordshire & He desires that St Mary Magdalene's Church will be used in reaching them."
