Sad world, W.L., isn't it.

I don’t get to visit the fray nearly as much as the past, but when I do come here, not much happening. In FB’s case, I think it’s obvious why. There are virtually no Christians here willing to defend their faith. Like twenty hounds of disbelief being ready for a Christian fox hunt, but no fox to hunt. What a let down for the hounds.
I am saddened at this world for so many reasons I could never count them all. But to note just one, why are Christians so silent or cowardly on their faith? For every 100 people who call themselves Christian, maybe only 30 truly are. And for those 30 who truly are, maybe 1 or 2 is a genuine witness to the needy world, be they destitute, lost or defiant skeptics. They all need witness, but like the Lord says “the harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”
For me I am thoroughly entertained by discourse, but it drains me. When it’s myself and some less than theologically correct Christians like doggie and maybe a couple others, it’s not a very formidable team. We need some kinder, yet shrewd, Protestant witnesses to address every difficult question, and we need some well-versed Catholics to put everyone on their guard.
I am thoroughly disgusted with the state of the union when it comes to Christians in the West. Generally speaking, most are in for a world of surprise when they pass into the next life. We will be more accountable than anyone else for our sins of omission, such as a lack of charity, lack of kindness, lack of witness or courage, and sins of commission including uncontrolled vice, self centeredness and sloth.
In the meantime, you poor “hounds” have to entertain yourselves with inane hypothetical games hoping for another unsuspecting fox to wander in.
