Many believe things have gotten so bad in the world that there is no hope. I was told the other day by a brother in Christ that we can't change anything, so we might as well just hunker down, protect our own and wait for Christ to return. I have to disagree. Up until the moment of His return the Great Commission remains in full force and affect, "...go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19). Until His return we still have the full force and authority of the King of Kings, the Ruler of All That Is behind us, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:18-19). We still have the high honor of representing Christ, we also have the power and authority to do so with boldness, compassion and dignity for all. We have no excuse not to.
Any culture, your culture, can still be changed, each nation, your nation, can still turn away from sin to Christ and every government, your government, can still choose to honor God and acknowledge His Son as Lord and Savior. All it takes is you; you with the Christ-assurance to face the resistance with calm and integrity, you walking confidently with Christ boldly declaring His name and never giving up. The Apostle Paul did it, so can you.
