The life and trials of a growing Christian - Day Thirty Nine

Sometimes I get a little confused on how I'm supposed to be. I know that I have been called to serve the Lord. I know what is right and what is wrong, and there's a lot of wrong going on in society today. Every time I speak out about the evil that's going on, I get every finger pointed at me, calling me this or that, but what am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to idly sit by and watch the debauchery and the absolute evil that people are blindly  committing in the name of tolerance and political correctness? Am I supposed to just watch and listen to people belittling their maker and not say a word about it? I am so bothered by some of the things that go on day in and day out in this backward, self worshiping, pleasure seeking world that I don't know what to do! There are so many people who call themselves followers of Christ but they remain silent, as if they are in some little bubble that blocks out everything bad. I just wish people would speak up and stand up and be counted. Some will agree in a one on one situation and then, when it hits the fan, they remain stagnant like an old puddle, just sitting there stinking. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting an unwinnable war that's just alienating me from everybody. Sometimes I feel like I might be wrong, and that I'm being a judgmental jerk like everyone says. Maybe my tactics are wrong. Maybe I need to soften up a little. Maybe the truth just hurts and people don't like having their toes stepped on. I think the last maybe is the correct one. When someone is told that they are committing or upholding sin, they tend to get terribly offended and then, the one bringing the message gets nailed to the wall. That's what happened to Jesus, John the baptist, all the apostles except John and almost all of the prophets. I guess that all of the angry reactions I'm getting is conformation that I'm going in the right direction.
