Often, important issues are discussed ceaselessly in order not to advance into action. Many suppose that discussion is action. Discussion is not action. Sometimes discussion is the prelude to action, when at other times it takes the place of action. While research and the crucial gathering of data is essential and very important, it alone cannot bring conviction.
Action is the true manifestation of conviction.
In conjunction with an intensified and genuine concern and engagement with the issues, there needs to be a further weighing of alternatives and strategies in order to bring about Godly solutions. This entails the careful and honest scrutinizing of the status quo . Historically, it has always been those who were willing to challenge the normative state of affairs who became the greatest influences. The Christian has been given a goal, a commission, and blueprint for Godly order. Unfortunately, it is the Modern Christian that has been given so much, yet has done so little.
