So what are we supposed to do? I understand on an individual level we must continue to work to be right with God. But on a society level, on a national level, on a civilization level, what should we be striving for?
What I do is simply help those, in my community, when I can.
That alone can have a rippling affect. Watch how many of those that you help go out and do the same. Not only the people you help but also the people that see you help.
Most people are good. We just get sucked into the bad parts our society glamourize and forget that we are good.
I do agree with this. Doing the right thing always feels good inside. Virtue > Pleasure.
But my concern, or question is, that the evil perversion is simply too tempting. Throw in the out of control population numbers and lack of resources and things are going to get ugly. There has to be some kind of answer to this or maybe the answer is this will become the end of days and we don't try to change that plan other than be good people who continue to work to be right with God.
I understand the frustration with trying to decide how to help people. I was involved quite heavily in politics for nearly a decade (as an unpaid volunteer). My assumption was that getting godly conservative men elected to political office would help the greatest number of people.
I became very disillusioned after the election of President George W. Bush, when Republicans finally controlled all three branches of government for the first time in forty years. Yet, very little changed. For the love of God, you guys cannot even de-fund Planned Parenthood -- one of the most Satanic organizations in the history of modern man?
I am not sure that there is a defintive answer, other than raising God-fearing children, standing up for righteousness, voting for Godly men (I still believe that we have the duty to support godly leaders, even if we do not see a huge immediate impact), and helping our fellow man.
