Christians have you become discouraged by the state of the world?How do we respond to the sins in our society?

Question

God seeks people whose hearts are pierced by their own sins as well as the sins of their neighbors and their society-and who intercede for the Father to pour out his overwhelming mercy. They are the ones whom God uses as instruments of healing and His mercy. Are you making yourself available? Will you answer His call? I am trying, who will go with me?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

All I am suggesting is what Christ told us: feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, instruct the ignorant, clothe the naked, visit the imprisoned,care for the sick and dying. Very simple. Do your part where you are with what you have.

Answer 1

we should do as The Bible tells us in Romans 12:21 "be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good" so many people get caught up in thinking that we should go after our enemys in "the name of God" but they ignor the fact that God told us not to fight. "DO GOOD TO THOSE WHO HATE YOU" this is how we should respond to our society.

Answer 2

The poster above has neglected the factor and that i will anticipate which you're finding for an answer so i will do my terrific to make clean. while Adam and Eve have been created, it rather is theory (via Christians who have self assurance the genesis origins) that the DNA replaced into suited and faultless. this suggests that there replaced into no threat for incestuous relationships to offer issues (even right this moment the possibility of an incestuous relationship generating a toddler with genetic issues isn't incredibly severe (that's why it rather is criminal in many Western countries for cousins to marry). via fact the inhabitants grew and time exceeded the genetics that make us up began to degenerate and it replaced into in Exodus (if i'm no longer unsuitable) that the regulation against incest replaced into exceeded onto mankind. this suggests that at the same time because it rather is a sin to dedicate an incestuous relationship it rather is a sin of result, no longer a sin of origins. As such it does not undermine the eternality of God's morality via fact if our Genetics wasn't undermined interior the beginning up then it does not have (a some distance better danger of having) a detrimental effect on the subsequent era. Logically this demands the basis that humanity began with a suited set of DNA that has eroded over the years. As such the assumption is logical yet finally relies upon of your perception in a god.

Bless you Debra. The world is overcome with sin and death and devastations, but our hope is in the Lord Jesus. I rarely ever get down on myself (so to speak), because I spend countless hours seeking His peace over my life. In October last year I was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in my duodenum (joins the stomach to the small intestines). I was told i would be dead by January by the oncologist (cancer specialist). I decided to take God's Word as the truth and believe certain things over my life. Mar 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Exo 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
I had a God experience about 6 weeks ago and God told me that I was healed. I always prayed without doubting and now I am healed. It is soooooo good to know that I now have a life to rebegin. I am 30 years old and am not even married yet, so going through cancer to me was a big deal. Coming out of it was even bigger. Jesus Word is true. I have proven it so. Keep speaking it out sister. Your blessings will encourage many I'm sure.

Answer 4

What are you wanting from us? I am trying to understand your question. do you desire to know how I handle the sin of myself and the rest of the world? Or are you asking for followers of yourself to do something for which you have not made clear, about piercing our hearts with our own and others sins. I am sorry but I cannot in all good consiousness anwser this one any way but to say, I try very hard to hate a persons sin and not the person for I am also a sinner. I have God's grace through Jesus to carry me through my life. I speak to those who will listen, but I do not force myself on anyone. I was also an unsaved person once and to be pushed by people made me furious and I would turn my back on them. the way i met God was by His calling me to seek out people to lead me. I do not make people think I am a nut nor a screaming meme. It doesn 't bring anyone closer to God. It only serves satan's delight at running them toward him.

Answer 5

Debra, I decided about 5 years ago to limit my CNN watching. It was totally depressing. I watch, but just enough to get headlines. If we start thinking about the magnitude of global suffering, we will give up. I have decided to look for needs of people being met right here in my own home town. There are opportunities everywhere to let to love of Christ shine through us to others right around us.

So, like you, I look for ways to help people right here. I will go with you.

Answer 6

Enjoy life for this is only the beginning. There is a right way, and a wrong way to everything. One on Earth has but two choices, and they are both equal. For God is good and fair to everyone.

Servant or Leader?

Answer 7

Am trying already. I am a Social Worker. Quite a few times in the day I remember the kids who are in other places, out of my reach to save. I pray for them often and cry for them. But what else can i do? God is the only one who can get to them, so I pray. And I pray that I find the ones here that need help. He is my solace. If I didn't have Him to ground me, I couldn't do this job.

Answer 8

I find this kind of comment remarkably shallow, and I'm terrified that there are people out there who think of this as deep and meaningful. It's almost as though you're a robot - empty of any humanity whatsoever - walking around in a human body.

Answer 9

The way we respond to the "sins" in our society is by not casting moral judgement. Civil judgements, fine. If someone is a thief, burglar, murderer, child molestor, etc. then for the sake of society we have to incarcerate them. However, it is not for us to make a moral judgement.

Answer 10

First off I do not become discouraged..as all of this is prophecied in the Bible and must come to pass. If you are talking about prayer, yes I pray and lift up my burdens before his throne..I am waiting on him for many many things. Prayer changes things and we must pray for the lost, but not be discouraged as it is the end times and these things must come to pass..
