Christian Responsibility:
In a dark world, you are the light. Shine.
In a world of moral decay, you are the salt of the earth. Be distinctive--live a holy life.
In a world of harsh words and hateful, angry speech, you are the voice of the soft answer. Silence--"drown out"-- the wrath.
In a world striving to find meaning in material gain and consumerism, you are the rock of contentment. Be a giver and a nurturer, not a taker and exploiter.
In a world of self-absorbed and proud narcissism, you are the humble servant. Esteem others better than yourself.
In a world screaming for their rights, you are the embracer of responsibility. Live a life that pleases the audience of One. Obey.
In a world striving for power, you are the one being daily filled with the Spirit, totally under His control--the one with a thankful heart, singing heart, and submissive heart. In all things, Christ. Let Him be your strength so that you can do the "all things" that please Him
In a world steeped in sorrow, you are the listening ears, the hands and the heart of the God of All-Comfort. Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ--love and comfort your neighbor as He has loved and comforted you.
In a world filled with division and strife, you are the peacemaker. Let the fruit of the Spirit so radiate from your life that those who hate you the most are silenced by His beauty--the Prince of Peace.
In a world filled with accusers, you are the one who casts aside the weapon of self-defense and lets Christ-in-you be your defense.

In a world filled with accusers, you are the one who casts aside the weapon of self-defense and lets Christ-in-you be your defense.
As I have often reminded you, you make the invisible God visible. You are Christ-in-the-room. You are His letter to the world, His words have been engraved upon your heart. Reflect His presence. Be His voice.
