Are We As Christians too Quiet?

Are Christians being to silent and weak on every political issue? We have our talk shows, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and Mark Levin to name a few, but the rest of the conservative base sit by quietly. I worry that our silence is taken as a head nod. We don't necessarily agree, but we fail to make our voice heard. It has happened so often throughout the years. A small group of people and sometimes just one person stands up to say they don't like something and before we know it, because of lack interest or lack of caring or lack of knowing what to do, certain rights are taken away.

With the case in California, the gay marriage ban being lifted, one state (two counting Massachusetts) is able to legislate for the whole country. I fear that because of the conservative base's silence and the boldness of liberals, everything that we hold dear will be gone and all morals will be lost. I know a lot of conservatives are worried about hurting people's feelings and it is important to approach people with a good spirit, but we have to stand up and speak. As a Christian, I have been commissioned to share the truth and by not standing against evil and what is wrong, I'm allowing the wrong to happen.

Here's what you can do to make a difference:On a spiritual level you can pray and fast for our nation.In the physical you can try to educate people (share what you know - the truth).You can also call your leaders of your state and country.

The time to act is NOW!

Amen, we need to speak up. I'm using my blog which is a bible study to speak up and hopefully lead people to Christ, I'm praying for it and I'm hoping it will happen.
