We are not kings, we are not senators. Let us beware lest, while we torture ourselves in vain about the state of Europe, we neglect either Verona or Oxford.
In the poor man who knocks at my door, in my ailing mother, in the young man who seeks my advice, the Lord Himself is present: therefore let us wash His feet.
Many Christians worry about their nation being too sinful for God to abide any longer. Many worry about those who fight against Christianity. But I don't remember there being a verse in the Bible telling us to worry about that.
We should do good where we are planted and leave the rest with God. He is big enough to take on atheists and, in fact, the whole world. We should pray for our leaders and then help everyone we can who is in corner of the world.
"Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked." Psalm 82:3,4
"Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow." Isaiah 1:17
