As a pastor you are on the front lines every day. There is no one more aware of the battle raging around us than you.
As you know, many Christians believe homosexual behavior, abortion, euthanasia, and pornography are the real problems in America today. Others believe racism and poverty are the critical problems. They are all wrong. These are merely symptoms of the underlying cancer--our distorted and twisted view of God.
In the Book of Acts, Peter and Paul never told pagans to change their behavior, rather they told them to change their God. Too often we try to be salt when we first need to be light. With nonbelievers, we must stop reacting to symptoms and begin to reframe every issue just like the Apostle Paul did in Athens.
Making God the issue is the only issue on which all the others issues stand or fall. If we win the battle over who God is, we will win all the other battles. If we lose the battle over who God is we will lose all the other battles. It is a simple matter of cause and effect.
