We are failing to properly represent the need for Christ and His Love. We are not presenting Christianity in the best possible way. We are allowing our faith to be marginalized in this nation.
The lines are drawn in the sand the question is what side of the line are you on?
James 4:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.
17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
We know to do good. We know what is expected of us. Are we doing that? Are we going to be the voice in the Wilderness Proclaiming the Lamb of God? We have so many people that want us to "go along to get along". Tolerance is the word they use, when in actuality they mean acceptance of their agenda. They want us to sit down and shut up. Not to call them out on their sin, not to tell them they are wrong, and not to make them look inside their selves. And we have obliged them to the point that now the church, the faith, and The Word of God has lost all effect.
We all have worked to make our own little corner of the world forgetting that there is a lost and dying world. We are no longer having an impact in lives. We are losing the battle, Simply by maintaining our silence.
Proverbs 1:10-33KJV
10 My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not.
11 If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause:
12 Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit:
13 We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil:
14 Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse:
15 My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path:
16 For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.
17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.
18 And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives.
19 So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.
20 Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets:
21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, saying,
22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you.
24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;
25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:
26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;
27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.
28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:
29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:
30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
In the book of Proverbs we have the wisdom of Solomon at our finger tips yet we fail to read and teach it. Wisdom has been teaching for years, but it has been ignored, rebuffed, and rewritten to make it more palatable for today's world. The Word of God has the answers but it has been so downgraded and downplayed by fools, ignorance, and disregard that it is put aside for the wisdom of today.
The wicked want us to run with them and be like them, and we have. We have allowed their snide comments, their off color jokes and we have destroyed any semblance of credibility that we may have had.
We have sown generations of simpletons, they think they are wise and are falling apart because they have no moral compass. The voice of morality (the church) has become as they and no longer tells them of the way of folly but takes part in their folly. We have so watered down the message and the tone so that they will come to us yet they still do not come. We have weakened our own position in an attempt to get them in, that we have allowed them to tune us out completely.
There is no fulfillment in this world, in materials, in sex, drugs, or music. Technology only serves to isolate us more instead of bringing us closer.
Only the Love of Christ and the fulfilling of His Will can make us whole. The Blood of Christ is the only thing that can Save this nation. There is no other way to fill the void that we as humans have. We are made to serve and Glorify God the Father. When we do not do that we are lost, we are vulnerable, we are empty.
This world has turned to so many different things to try and find that purpose. There is one purpose that can make us happy on this earth, not necessarily happy with this earth but happy while we are here. That is the Lord God Jehovah.
We must find a way to better get this message across. We must present ourselves and our Savior in a better way. The only way to do that is first by example. Then by telling them Of Christ who died for them, who loves them, and who can redeem them from the life and pain of sin.

Romans 10:12-14
King James Version (KJV)
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher
