The churches now are making this Valentine thing become another form of celebration in the sense of it being christianised,\u201d he fumed.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the counsellor\u2019s claims last Saturday on Celebrity Fanzone on GH One TV, AJ Sarpong expressed her disagreement with Counsellor Lutterodt and insisted that the church has a very important role to play when it comes to educating the youth about the real essence of love.<\/p>\n<p>She told host Akosua Hanson: \u201cFrankly I disagree with counselor there. There is so much emphasis on sex on Valentine day, so much and there are very impressionable youth all around us who are now attributing Valentine\u2019s Day to that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd with the whole commercialization of valentine day; buy flowers, buy teddy bear\u2026There is a lot of depression on that day especially of you don\u2019t have a love one. So it is nice that the church also tries and promote that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>AJ, however, advised the church to use the day to promote love for God rather than the emphasis on sex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the church should bridge the gap and promote something else other than sex. If you don\u2019t have that loved one, perhaps then it is a day to show love to the lord,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 20 February 2018 Source: zionfelix.net 2018-02-20 AJ Sarpong Radio and TV presenter, AJ Sarpong has rejected arguments made by controversial Ghanaian counsellor, George Lutterodt, which suggested that the church is Christianizing Val\u2019s Day celebrations in Ghana.
