I suppose this can go under the theology forum. There reason I do not put it under the Dad's Toolshed is because I want a larger discussion.
I do not know what it is like where you live but here it is becoming disgusting. I have always struggled with carnal desires and lusts of the flesh and it does not help that as soon as you leave your house members of the opposite sex are going about their daily lives in skimpy dresses and no care in the world (New Zealand is officially a post-Christian nation and proud of it. We now have homosexual marriage, legal prostitution etc...). What Biblical actions can a person do to escape these temptations because often they become so much for me. (It is interesting some of the churches around here are worse than going to lectures where all the atheist liberals hang out. It is a sad day when Christians dress worse in church than unbelievers).
How can a good Christian citizen take action to SAVE THE LIVES of themselves and future generations of their country people? (Excluding prayer as that is obvious - I want practicle answers).
Violence and political aggression is probably going to be condemned and does not seem in line with scripture. (It somehow does not seem Christian to go and burn down p0rn stores which parade all their wares and destroy brothels - especially those in the suburbs where little kids run about.)
It also seems unbiblical to do nothing.
What Biblical answers are there? One can not even go out the door without seeing posters, people and billboards etc... flashing half naked people about with no modesty.
On a closing not I leave the country in a month or two and will be in a far greater moralistic nation where temptations will be far less. I have become ashamed of my home country.
