Barking At The Moon!

So much energy is expended complaining about the deterioration of our society.  Oh, don't get me wrong, it bothers me greatly.  I am angered by the Supreme Court striking down laws that citizens have voted into place in various States.  I am bothered greatly when people are penalized for making statements and ordered to take sensitivity training when others can say about anything about a Christian or the Church and it seems it's just fine.  Why, I even remember Jane Fonda in an enemy camp speaking against our Armed Forces and it was legitimized as freedom of speech.  What about us?  What about our freedom of speech?  Truthfully, we are never going to bring much change ranting from our position.  We are a minority and it seems to be shrinking.  The more we become angry and the more we cry out, it seems it only works against us.  What are we to do?  How do we make a difference?  There can be only one answer, "live the Gospel!"

I heard just today that as many as 250,000 people are becoming Christian each week in China.  It seems that the government there is softening a little and it is not because of public outcry or marches in the streets.  Why?  Because society there is seeing that these Believers are better workers and citizens.  That speaks loudly!  I'm not saying that we shouldn't be involved and thank God our system here in the U.S. allows us to be involved, vote and bring influence to bear through our process of government.  However, living the Gospel is much more powerful than demonstrations and outcries.  We must train our people that it is not enough to act like Christians, we must actually live and be what we say we believe out there in the workplace.  When everything seems to be against us we must stop barking at the moon and make a difference through living the Gospel and follow the example Jesus set for us.
