The Downfall of Society

Now a days we live in a society that is flawed in so many ways. There are so many problems with the world, and people in general. If you look back in time there are things that are going on now that would be not acceptable then. It just goes to show that the further we travel in time from the fall the worse and worse we become. It is acceptable for a man, and a man to be married. Divorce is more than common. If marriage is too hard then just get a divorce. We have taken a sacred thing and made a mockery of it. Our government is so messed up. We have senators, and politicians that do not know how to stay faithful to their spouses. It is not acceptable for us to say God in public schools. We can not pray, and 50 years ago prayer was in all public schools. There is wide drug abuse, and prescription drug abuse. These are just some of the main problems with our society today. There is so much more that is broken, and the only people that can be blamed our ourselves.
SO many times we want to turn and point the finger at God, but it all goes back to us. We ate the fruit from the tree. We are the imperfect ones. We messed everything up.
No matter how bad it is being a christian i need to realize that there are people out there that are blinded by sin. They do not see the problems with the world. They do not understand what it is like to be loved. They need to hear the good news. The only way the world is going to get better is if christian stop pouting about their problems, and how evil everyone is and get off their ass and love some people.
Sometimes christian, and i am included in this, sit around and talk about how bad society is, and what is wrong, and never go do anything about it. Isn't that conforming to what society has become? Selfish, and non-caring. That is what the world is. "Its all about me, as long as I'm fine then that is all that matters." Well we are not the world, we are christians, and we are called to so much more! That is such a beautiful thing. God has called us to live a life of love and mercy. So many people in the world do not know what it is like to be loved. Men are addicted to porn because it makes them feel better about themselves. Women give their bodies to men because that gives them confidence. Kids grow up with out parents because it wasn't convenient. People grow up in broken homes, and do not understand what its like to have a family dinner every night. So many people need love, and we are the ones who get to show the love of Christ to them.
So who someone some love in some way and spread the word of Christ. The world is broken, and it can be repaired, and it is our responsibilities as christians to do so.
