Please dont try to change the world.

Why do we continue to want to shape the world and societal structures to a biblical model? Why are we so preoccupied with wanting to shape the world to a set of values that everyone should apparently adhere to? The problem lies in wanting to make everyone be like us and being able to do it under the banner of a large religious organization. We must first and continually change ourselves, keep ourselves from being polluted by the world and then encourage others to do the same. But never should we expect society to become more "Christian" when we ourselves are not willing to bear the weight of the cross of Christ.
