This could be an interesting topic to think on.  How agressive, or 
passive, should Christians be.  Should we be praying for more grace,

society becomes more abased, should we seperate ourselves, and our 
children, from it?  Is it a matter of personal calling, or should 
we collectively, become more vocal witnesses in the world, or like 
the Amish, seperate ourselves from it.

Not until the sounding of the seventh angel in Revelation 11:15 do I 
see any claim of ownership of governments or countries.  But I may be
