1. We as people of God should we abide but the rules and regulations of the government? Should we depend on them for help?
2. Should we as Christians lower our standards to reach the next generation? Should we conform a little just to be more effective in our mission or assignment?

1. We as humble servants of the Lord should obey the rules and laws of this land as long as they don't conflict with what the word says. Such regulations and laws that are being passed, I believe we as the Body of Christ should have enough power to speak up and influence even the government. Just like Daniel in the bible when we was appointed Prince over a whole region and he had a Godly influence in the political arena so to speak. I believe that as believers we should firmly believe that God will provide for us, that he is able to make a way out of no way. We rely on the government for assistance because the bible says the Government shall be upon his shoulders. God can see fit to have the Government to bless his people as well. This is a good question!
2. We as people of God, as born again believers, as washed and filled fire baptized saints, we should never conform to reach anybody else. I know the bible says we have to be all things to all men but that didn't mean conform to their standards and morals because then we would be getting outside of the realm of Christ. But with what they know we can show them the TRUTH in that and point them to Jesus Christ. We should always be integral in everything that we do as Christians. We should never try to bend the bible to fit into the culture but we should take the bible to change the culture. I believe there is enough power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ to reach anyone, no matter what culture, creed, denomination, nationality or color. The word of God is quick and it's powerful! I think these modern day doctrines and ideologies are designed to experience the best of both worlds. On one hand Christians want to walk on the devils side but yet claim to have the power of Jesus Christ, but this is what we call lukewarm. Ultimately this is not reaching nobody, but in all actuality it is confusing people on who the real God is!
