Lots of Christians are too conservative.
The problem with current day affairs is that some Christians think life should be the same as it was many years ago. They want the same values, processes, lifestyles, and mood. They want Christianity to reign like it was the Crusades. But that is not what God intended.
Christianity is a growth religion. The principles don’t really have to change because they are so perfect. They are built on altruism and compassion. God’s best gift to the world was His ability to understand us through the Christ. That gesture changed life for everyone.
The issue we’ve got in the middle east is that Islam has produced a vengeful populace. This has been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years, even if those of us in this continent never really got news of it. Folks, Islam was created in the 600s AD. It is nothing new.
The reason why we are running into such terrible problems now is that everyone is in everyone else’s backyard. The internet gives instant access to the entire world. Not only can everyone maintain surveillance on everyone else, but we know everyone’s thoughts. The fact that media is so readily available has produced a world where secrets are a big joke. Government action is out in the open, for everyone to see. When these maniacs kill hundreds or thousands of their own people, the world sees the violence in real time.
Take a look at the situations in your own life. Analyze how you use the information that comes through your desk. Look at how you are influencing those around you. Then take the necessary steps to spread the Great Commission. God truly and completely wants everyone to know Jesus. Once you are taking the steps to evangelize in the manner you should, not only does your life improve, but miracles start happening around you, and your own power as a child of God increases.
Make waves. Become a productive Christian. Change the world!
