I am so thankful to live in a nation where I am able to worship as I wish and talk about Christ with almost no persecution. Does it make it harder though to be a Christian in the U.S. considering all of the excesses we have here. For instance, we have so many worldly things that try to draw us from our faith- abundant food, drugs, tv, sex, greed, etc.
Considering we live in a nation where we complain and get impatient when a web page takes more ten seconds to come up, while those in other countries walk two miles just to get water for their family how can we truly know what thankfulness is?
In some places people are slaughtered for the sole reason of being a Christian, while here, a Christian's biggest threat is the ACLU trying to take down a cross somewhere.
Does this make us too complacent and not take our faith (in general) seriously enough?
It is nice though, to be in a country where there is such a diversity of people to share my faith with.
What do you all think?
