"When God abandons a nation"
When abortion, sexual sin, vulgar entertainment, corruption, and anti-Christian hostility come to dominate a nation, you have to wonder when God's judgment will start.John MacArthur points out that God sometimes judges a nation by abandoning it to its sins, letting sin run its deadly course. Sin isn't merely something He punishes-sometimes it is the punishment. So what does it look like when God abandons a nation? Is that where we are today? What hope do Christians have in making a difference in the world if God, Himself, has given up on it?In John MacArthur's bold new message, "When God Abandons a Nation," you'll find biblical insights into the state of the nation today. You'll be comforted by the fact that even when everything around you seems to be hopelessly spiraling out of control, God is in perfect control. Even in the midst of judgment, He knows, loves, and protects His children.



Jang Ja-yeon was an actress who had been starring in the KBS television drama series Boys Over Flowers. She was being forced to sleep with chaebol business men. She had been suffering from depression, and a police investigation concluded that her death was a suicide.

Jang Ja-yeon was found hanged to death at her home. Jang had complained to her sister about the "overwhelming stress" she was under, saying that she "wants to die". A police investigation concluded that her death was a suicide, and found no evidence of foul play. An alleged suicide note left by Jang describes how she was beaten and forced to entertain and have sex with several program directors, CEOs and media executives, causing considerable debate about relations in the entertainment industry, as well as a police probe into her management agency.

When I heard the news that she committed suicide, I was very shocked.
I am also one of the big fans of the drama Boys over flowers and I cannot believe that.
What audiences can see through television is only celebrities’ pretty smile face with beautiful clothes. However, in behind, the situation what we couldn’t see is an immoral society. The judge said there are no evidences that she was being forced to sleep with business men so, the court declare not guilty. At the ceremony of awarding prizes, which is held the year-end, what people remember was not her poor death but beautiful actress who got prizes. The media still spotlighting famous celebrities.
