“yes. I frequently try to talk with “Christians” about things going on in the world that we should be concerned about. They frequently give me a blank stare and say “Jesus is coming back to rapture us anyway so why should I care”. I also see a lot of missionary work being done as just “something to do”.”
Wow! You make them sound like robots!
I’ve been to many churches, in many denominations, in many countries, and I’ve never ever heard a Christian say “Jesus is coming back to rapture us anyway so why should I care.”
Never.
And, missionary work is too hard to be just “something to do”.
there are many “robots” out there. How do you think Obama got elected ;-)
I have seen “mission trips” by youth groups that seem little more than “summer camp”.
limited by my phone ;-)
If we were truly being salt and light unto the world Obama would not have been elected, abortion would be illegal, etc. This is not an argument about creating “heaven on earth”. I am well aware that that won’t happen until Jesus comes back. Only He will bring the New Jeruslem!
