VOICE OF REASON PRESENTS:

AMERICA'S CHRISTIAN HERITAGE HOMEPAGE
Week 4 - Understand the Problem Before Trying to Fix It !
Question:  Should we even bother to solve the problem?  There is a growing number of prominent Christians who say we should not get involved in politics or in the shaping of our society.  They say our duty is to preach the Gospel and societal issues are merely distractions.  What do you think?

I disagree with those brothers for a number of reasons:

 
  1. Allowing society to decay at its own pace puts our children at risk.  They are in danger of accepting
          post-modern arguments of the meaning of life, and reject Christ altogether.

                 �
Deuteronomy 6: 6-8
                These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.  Impress them on your
                
children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you
                
lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your
                
foreheads.

                  �
Deuteronomy 4: 39,40
      
          Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the
                  earth below. There is no other.
Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you
                 
today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live
                 
long in the land the LORD your God gives you for all time.

                  �
Psalm 34: 10,11
             
  The lions may grow weak and hungry,
                  but
those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
                 
Come, my children, listen to me;
                 
I will teach you the fear of the LORD .

                  �
Psalm 78: 5-7
               
He decreed statutes for Jacob
                  and
established the law in Israel,
                 
which He commanded our forefathers
                 
to teach their children,
                  so the next generation would know them,
                  even the children yet to be born,
                 
and they in turn would tell their children.
                 
Then they would put their trust in God
                 
and would not forget his deeds
                 
but would keep his commands.

                  �
Proverbs 20: 7,8
                
The righteous man leads a blameless life;
                 
blessed are his children after him.
                 

                  �
Matthew 19: 13-15
                 
Then little children were brought to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for
                   them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.   Jesus said, "
Let the little children
                  
come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
                   When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.
