TT knocked the biblical response out of the park! Great collection of passages.

Let me add the wisdom of my 27 year old daughter... I was lamenting some of the same core issues as the OP. My daughter simply replied to me: "Dad why do you expect nonbelievers to behave as believers?" She knocked it out of the park too. As we are the salt. We are a minority. I have shared with my bread baking buddies that the typical salt percentage in many breads, rolls and pizzas is right at 2% by weight of the flour, yet it controls the rise of the yeast and the flavor. Although a very small percentage of the dough, the salt is very important in its development and stability.

Bottom line: We are a minority in a foreign land. Soon, and very soon, the Lord will display to all His ways, and His people. Our goal is to be sure we are listening to and following His voice. Then the salt will be gone, and the yeast will rise with little inherent control.
