The world is fixed in their ways! What is the meaning of that? It means the world is not going to change, the world cannot change. The old adage is; a Zebra cannot change it's strips. Have you heard the term, it fits the world because the strips of the world or the people we should say that are in the world have a nature they were born with, that nature came from the father of sin, Satan, and cannot change.

Because of the cross the sin nature can be exchanged for a new nature, but cannot be changed. So complaining about the world and their sin and selfishness and the way it is ran by those with a sin nature is foolishness.
Those with the God nature have their moments where you cannot tell them apart from the world. In Christianity we have developed the mindset that Christians still have a sin nature because we sin, if that were so the cross did not work. To judge a person based on their sin is foolishness and you set yourself up to be judge.

To judge the world is foolishness it cannot work any other way. The world was designed to bring forth Christ, and to those that lambaste it do not understand the knowledge of Good and Evil. The knowledge of Good and Evil is one knowledge, for Christians there is another knowledge that exists. That knowledge is the only knowledge that fits this world and sees through everything to the person of Christ in you. All the picketing, protesting, preaching against the world does very little good. We seem to like to imitate Jesus of Nazareth, if that is so feed the hungry, clothe the naked, minister to the poor. Jesus never did Picket nor protest or complain about the world he lived in.

The world will take care of its own, we see it every day if they live according to the laws that are given they fit into society, if they break those laws and the morality the world desires they are punished. Point being; don't be taken up with the world as much, we have a message for the world separate yourself from the world, renew your Mind do the work of a minister, do the work of an evangelist you're called to do the work of God.

Yes, I agree...picket signs and screaming that they are all going to burn in Hell just turns people off.
It's all in how we interact with them and ... Jesus gave His message in love and walked away...up to the person what they did with the message. I care not for the concerns of this world outside of being kind and filling needs of those less fortunate. If one has ears to hear, they will accept your message of the Gospel and if not, we still love them regardless. There are many tangible ways to help others in Christ's name, yet many Christians just want to say "be blessed, and God Bless"...or some such yet, the person in need is still in need! Yikes.
Jesus never ran after people with picket signs and angry indignation.
