Unrest

We have so easily given into the idea that we don't have to sacrifice anything to be Christians. We say 'God will forgive me' while we live in sin.

We don't think twice about what sorts of things our jobs contribute to in society, but we continue to work at them because "at least I'm an ethical person".

We blindly follow our government. They say war, we go. Those who protest are considered liberal, crazy, and unpatriotic.

We haven't actually sacrificed to follow. We try to fit God into our culture instead of living according to God and God alone.

We pledge allegience to a flag, to a country, to a government; all of which are broken and have bloodshed on their hands.

Early Christians were enemies of the state because they went against society and the government. They quit their jobs as soldiers and were willing to die for Christ.

Christ can give you life after death, the government just taxes what assets remain when you're gone.
