History – I think one of the major issues facing Christianity today is the lack of people who put Christian practices into work. Many of the younger Christians don’t seem to take Christianity seriously. They can listen to its teachings, but when the time comes, they rarely put those teachings into practice. I’m sure it’s because that they believe that God plays no active role in their lives. There are also people who take their beliefs in Christianity too far by endangering or slandering people who disagree with Christian beliefs. I once read about a man who attacked an abortion clinic in Colorado who claimed to be Christian. We won’t be able to show God’s love to others if we can’t learn to show love to them first. Using force definitely doesn’t work in winning the ears and hearts of people.
There are many Christians today who face persecution all over the world, especially in the Middle East. While I believe that this issue needs to be addressed, I’m not sure of the type of action Christians or the Church should take. If we try to respond with force to the persecutions, we will only enlarge the rift between Christianity and the people behind the persecutions. If we ignore the problem, the persecutions will continue and more people will die. This is still a problem that I think about all the time.

(3) God must be the object of a person’s moral conduct (pg. 355). Faber’s teachings quote “To make God always our end is always to remember that we are creatures, and to be a saint is always to make God our end” (pg.
