Are we all talk?

It is interesting the conversations that you can be a part of when you start asking the hard questions to men that are Christians and non-Christians alike. Just start asking the question, "so what are you doing in this battle against sin and the devil taking over the culture?" What I am finding is that it does not seem as though anyone knows what to do. Even the Christians. Oh, they may say they are praying and taking their families to church. That is good. But what are people doing about the fact that our country has made abortion the norm. Homosexuality is a tiny minority and is being allowed to take over our schools, and is pressing hard for laws not for "equality" but they want control enough to force their ideology on all of the world.

Just what will Christian men be willing to do to fight evil? Will they move out of the country? Will they do anything that makes them and their families uncomfortable but gets them away to a better place where they can raise their children and not be forced by law to teach their children evil.

So what is our resposibility as Christians in the battle against evil? There are those that take the position that we cant help what the world does and will just sit by and watch the world go up in flames. They are sitting waiting for the Lord to come.

So when The Lord says for us to take up our cross and follow him what does that mean? Does that mean passively? What responsibility do we have towards the society around us? Especially in a society that its mantra is "freedom" at all cost. No matter what the freedom is?
