I’ve ran into so many Christians that are frustratingly apathetic when it comes to voting and essentially any social or societal issues. They’ve all got the attitude of “God is in control, and whatever happens is His will.”
Drives me crazy! Get off your behind and vote your values! Do it for your kids if nothing else! Vote!

Tell them.....”show me faith without good works and I’ll show you no faith.”

Agreed!

Fatalism is a Hindu and Muhammedism thing and has no place in Christian life.

We are called to trust and also act. Very many references from “dominion” in Genesis to the “parts of the body” analogy in Corinthians. We are here by His will and to do His will, not to slough off and let whatever happen.
