The World

[startrekfan1]

Hello again guys,

Recently, I have been looking at these great controversies in America and the world. Spying, Global Warming, that kind of stuff. My ocd has been spiking on stuff like "You haven't done your American duty, you should be ashamed!" Stuff along that line.

My question is this, how should a Christian view all of these kinds of things? What stances should we take?

It's a very confusing, gray world.

We should live in the world but not be of it. Don't attack like Gays for who they are show love and compassion truly to those who want to repent. Christ put a deposit in you which is the Holy Spirit so you have done your work by repenting. Don't worry the Father will teach you they way to go. Just live by faith. Your not supposed to understand it all but, just believe.

We must always look at things through a biblical worldveiw. We study scripture to get a understanding of what God thinks about things. And we take that truth and apply it to everything in our lives and the things around us. Remember, God is soverign over all, we can look to the Word for any instruction for anything you can think of, ie. spying, global warming, etc.... A good website is desiringgod.com --has some really good stuff about a lot of topics. Hope this helps.

I would just say that I think many issues are issues that the world is concerned about, but are not necessarily things that should be priorities for Christians. The whole global warming, green movement, for example. I know some may disagree with me and I could be wrong, but my feeling is this...As Christians, we should use common sense and attempt to be good stewards of the earth and its resouces. BUT...I think there are quite a few things the Lord would have us be involved with other than that which should take much higher priority. I think in a lot of cases people are worshipping "Mother Earth" over Father God if that makes sense. In my opinion and it is just my opinion, waaay too much thought and time has and is being wasted on worrying about this issue.
