It requires a constant vigilance not to become like the world in its ways and attitudes. It is unacceptable that we shun our attention from all we hear about violence. We must aggressively come against the evil because it is progressive and if we do not it will continue to increase. Satan has a plan for the world. He wants us to have a hard-hearted viewpoint, not really caring about people or thir needs.
As Christians we should pray for those who are hurting and vow to fight against the apathetic ways of our worlds' attitudes. There are still so many more good things going on than the bad... now if that could catch the worlds' attention, I honestly think it would help change the overall attitude of the world. We should not dwell on what we see most of (all the bad) or confrom to this world's viewpoint. We just need to listen to what God says about current events in our lives and pray as He leads us to intercede for others who are affected by them.
-Avoid all perverse talk; stay away from corrupt speech. Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you. Mark a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path don't get sidetracked, keep your feet from following evil.
Proverbs 4:24-27
-Don't do as the wicked do, and don't follow the path of evildoers.
Proverbs 4:14
-Neighbors lie to each other, speaking with flattering lips and deceitful hearts. May the Lord cut off their flattering lips and silence their boastful tongues.
Psalm 12:2-3
