The world today

As we look around us we are confronted with the daily reminder of the direction our society is headed. The constant news reports of murder, rape, theft and many more crimes reminds us that society has taken a turn for the worst. I am constantly asking myself why this is and I keep coming back to the same conclusion. I would like to explain this in this short paper and give a way I think these problems could be solved. As young kids most of us here in America are taught about God in some way; whether that is Sunday school with the family or someone singing about Christ when putting us to bed at night. Yet as we grow older we are all focused on living and not dying. Don’t get me wrong, I don't want to end my life in any way I am just saying people live their lives in such a careless way and seen to lose sight on the fact that we are not immortal. If death were the focus then Jesus would play a more vital role. With our focus on Christ we view and value life on a different level. Christ is the only way to eternal life and the only salvation for our sins. No one is perfect and that is not what I'm implying, I'm simply stating that if our focus leaves the world and falls on Christ our life and actions will naturally change. So how do we get Christ and his message spread? Simple... Act on what you know about Christ. Be different from the world and be the change you wish the world would be. Then when someone asks why you are different, tell them about how Christ died for us. So through Christ the world is saved and through our example as Christians the world will be changed.
