what is the Christian message? God made, God lost you, God bought you back. You are saved through grace alone, through Christ alone, through faith alone. Christ says accept Him, your sins are forgiven, and you spend eternity with God. ALL of the misery we see is the result of (oh gasp!) sin. Our sinful nature, as we grow in Christ, is replaced with the 'fruit of the Spirit': love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness,goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." Now: the Pastor's job should be to preach the Gospel! Then we will see a change in society. But not till there is change in the heart of man.  We are warned of false teachers, of wolves among the sheep, the 'social christian'. And people with 'itchy ears' that can't get enough of them. (Believe me, God has done a lot of work on this sinner, and has more to do.)
