Why do you evangelise? On.y b3cause it is a command or do you actually ' love ' other people or neighbours ?
If you love them and see a need would you not try to do something about that need?
It is only Christianity that gives you an independent voice, atheism and other believes would have you silently serving the community.
Hi
Who Me
That's a grand personal opinion. But my question was whether or not you could provide any Scriptural support for your question of 'how are we opposing such things?' If the answer is no, just say so. Then you can go on with, "But I think that's what we should do because it's what I think is the right thing to do."
As a parent who loves his children, the greatest love that we can show others is to tell them about Jesus. That's actually the last command that Jesus gave his followers. While giving that command, he didn't say, "As you go about doing this, or instead of doing this, be sure to feed and clothe everyone and make sure you take care of all their personal needs." Although yes, their are other places where he does tell us that we should care for the least of us. But telling people about Jesus is ultimately the greatest love that you can show someone. My greatest responsibility, as a parent, is to teach my children to know and love God and His Son. By telling them about His Son you will have given them the opportunity to gain the greatest gift that is available to man.
Paul, who Jesus has told us is his representative to the Gentile nations, never says a single word about working to 'fix' government or sinners by beating them over the head about their sinful ways. The only act of charity that the Scriptures record of Paul is that he took up offerings for the Jewish widows in Israel. That was a command given by Jesus. To care for the widows and the fatherless. Only two groups of people that Jesus gave any indication that we should help monetarily or in some way making their lives better in their living conditions.
Now yes, as we do that, we should help to answer their needs for food, clothing and shelter. But that's not the same as fighting the government or other groups over their sinful ways. I've read the Scriptures! That's what's ultimately going to be overrunning the earth as Jesus returns. Yet knowing this is how it's going to be in the last days, he never once says that we need to work somehow to stop that eventuality. But we should show them the love of Jesus and help in providing for the basic needs of life. Not tilting at windmills like some Don Quixote character.
So I asked, "What Scriptural reference can you give that God does want us to be somehow militant or otherwise aggressive about the sin of the world?"
That's what I'm getting at. These supposed 'evangelical groups' that spend so much of their time addressing government wrongs or attacking the sins of others, as I understand the Scriptures, isn't what God asks of us. He asks us to tell everyone we can about the love He has shown all of us through the life and death and resurrection of His Son. Yes, that is what God asks of us. Because the plan that God has instituted is that for those who will believe, then the work of the Holy Spirit will begin in them to 'fix' all these issues of sin in their lives. But somehow, it seems that there's a part of the christian body, that thinks that they have the power to fix all that's wrong with the lost of the earth. Sorry, the Scriptures don't show any evidence that's what God asks of us.
So, I'm all for helping the destitute and the poor in the material necessities of their daily lives, but again, I don't see that God's word ever gives us some example that we 'stand in the gap' against the sin of the world. Just tell them about Jesus. For those who will accept it, baptize them. Then begin teaching them to obey all that he commanded his followers to do. Then the Holy Spirit, who will then indwell them also, will begin to convict of both sin and righteousness.
God bless,

️ too. Maybe 
it always has been? Right wing center right progressive…much of the established church is openly anti christ in deeds if not in official doctrine. Ugh 
churches are becoming older and more right wing 
. The seemingly inescapable politicization of everyday life flows in and through the churches too.
. Who will He find truly obedient to Him out of love when He returns?
but…
is my most powerful weapon. I share my faith sometimes with the predictable response of oh at least he’s found something to help him deal with the schizophrenia and make him feel better etc etc etc…,
and only talk about issues not my faith. But I’m reminded that Jesus Christ tells us to spread the good news 
so it’s a challenging commandment. Maybe that’s a good thing?
