I've called our Representative's office, written e-mails, posted on Facebook, and talked to folks who've come into our store.<br /><br />I'm not "afraid", because God is in control. Sometimes he leads by the still small voice, and other times by the winds of adversity. But He still leads!<br /><br />My challenge, perhaps I can be so bold and say our challenge, is to be listening for the still small voice, so we don't need the winds of adversity.<br /><br />All to often we succumb to the numbing din of our fast-paced world, or the hopeless thinking that there's nothing I can do to change culture.<br /><br />Both deny the power of God to do exceedingly more than I can hope or imagine.

I think this also though acts as a wake-up call to Christians for our apathetic and complacent spirits that it's not until everything is said and done that we now object to it or fight it. We are not seeking to advance God's Kingdom and we are not fulfilling God's call for us to seek the welfare of the cities/nations in which He has placed us.
