Iranian leader, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has threatened to wipe the nation of Israel off of the map.  Terrorists have the goal of killing the maximum number of innocent men, woman and children in order spread their hateful ideology.  Politicians are often corrupt and selfish, looking for their own self-interest over that of their own nation.  Families face an assault from radical left-wing ideologies that are becoming more and more mainstream.  There is a media that encourages the corruption and moral weakness of our next generation.  Too many kids do not have good male role models.  People are encouraged to think of themselves first and to do something if it feels good.  48,590,000 innocent children have been robbed of their chance of life since 1973, when abortion was legalized during all 9 months of pregnancy, for any reason, within the United States…and the list of troubles goes on.  It could be overwhelming through the eyes of a faithless man or woman but it is not overwhelming at all.  The answer to a better future is surprisingly simple.
 
All of the problems above have many different causes and the solutions to the problems above are very complex.  However, the bottom line is this – Christ tells you to “Love God above all else and love your neighbor as yourself.”  If people did that the problems above would not exist.
 
The solutions to the world’s problems do not lie within new and great government policies, although that may play a part.  The solution to the world’s problems is found within the individual heart.
 
So my advice to you, in charity to your fellow man and the world that you live in, is to change your heart so that you are a better person, to pray that others do the same, and to be a beacon of light in the world.
 
You may say that if you do that it will make no difference, but just look to history.  The Christian faith was built by 12 humble sinners, and today the Christian faith leads the course of human events. 
 
The United States of America was founded by a small handful of men with a dream of freedom and equality. Nothing quite like it had ever been done before in human history.  And this small handful of men created the greatest nation that ever existed.
 
Then, the country was made better by good men, like John Adams and Abraham Lincoln who loved God and wanted a true republic with true freedom. In our founding, John Adams vehemently opposed slavery. Then, Lincoln, less than 100 years later, freed us from the bondage of slavery and brought us closer to God.  These men loved God above all else and loved their neighbor as themselves – they changed history and together solved the horrible sins of tyranny and slavery.
 
Evil will be conquered.  The only question is – will you do your part to conquer it?
