I'm very glad you did hit post! :)
You hit the nail on the head here.
I too am Christian - and I share the same view of hope, and obedience as you do.
And I strongly believe that it is exactly that worldview that enables you and me to live outside of all the circumstances I pointed to with the Chinese cultural example - and even all of our own youth here in the US.
Simply put - there are SO MANY people that don't have that same reality that you and I do. They don't know it.
So as the world burns and falls apart around them right now - and after they've seen other people (also without faith, or not living it anyways) try everything - and they themselves have tried everything... they are not only at a material dead end - they are at a spiritual dead end.
That dead end manifests in everything we're seeing.
So what do we do? We bring them the hope-filled - and purpose-filled clarity of Jesus.
That's what is so spectacular about this time we're living through. So many are finding themselves at the end of theirselves. And that is exactly where the message of Jesus can come and rescue them from.
Have you ever seen Jesus Revolution? It came out in 2023. It's about the... Jesus Revival in the 70's. When all the "hippies" were finding Jesus and that caused a clash with the older generations who had been going to church for some time.
Watch this clip - it tears me up every time I hear it - because it convicts me.
The hippie, saying to the pastor -
"I know we must seem pretty strange, but if you look a little deeper - if you look with love... You'll see a bunch of kids that are searching for all the right things, just in all the wrong places."
"They're sheep without a shepherd - chasing hard after lies. And the trouble is, your people reject them. So I ask you pastor - how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?"
"We can only walk through doors open to us. And your church? Well, that's a door that's shut."

We have a lot to do, my fren and brother in Christ :)
wow great clip, I haven't seen the movie, will watch it. I believe our job is to show the world our love for God through our existence and how we interact. We can't save everyone, but if some are brought to Jesus through our actions, we have done great things.
I have a friend who remembers what I went through with my middle son. Stroke at birth, mental and physical damage. Brain surgery at 6 years old. My friend asked me how I got through that, he mentioned I seemed to handle it very well and just kept going. I told him faith in God, that is why I don't stumble when hit by obstacles of trauma. We have had many discussions some on God, he grew up in a Christian home, but not really practicing. But, I think the door is open just a little bit more for him now.
The way we carry ourselves and the little things matter. Brings me back to a memory when I was 16, filled up with gas went in to pay, paid. Got outside realized I was undercharged, he had me pay the wrong bill. I went back in and paid the right bill. He had an african accent. He asked me right then if I was Christian. I said yes, he said God Bless you and my name. While he was obviously Christian as well, in that moment his beliefs were reinforced.
I don't always act as I should, but I am trying to do better.
I ordered a chronological version of the Bible for my and I the other day, plan on reading through the entire Bible in a year maybe a bit longer.
God's Blessings to you. I hope the ordeals of our society bring more people to Jesus.
BTW, if you are ever looking for a good book, I enjoyed the CS Lewis books. Mere Christianity (a philosophical proof of our God), The Great Divorce (A look at what idols people can't let go of to enter heaven) and Screw Tape Letters (Letters from a demon to his mentor about turning people away from God). All are great books. I really liked the one about the demon. These books are not scripture and CS Lewis discusses this in prologues, but they are helpful in seeing Christianity from different perspectives.
One of the great things about learning more about the Bible is getting to see ourselves in the disciples, paul - the letters to the 7 churches (from Jesus in Revelation) - because it gives us a couple of things:
An understanding that those people themselves were very human - all of the flaws we have - but they were empowered by their belief, which came from their experiences - to go out and share that experience with others.
And God used their sharing of experiences to lead to more conversation, that the Holy Spirit empowered and was active through.
At the very start of that "difference maker" chain, you could call it - is the person though. And each person we read about made that first choice, to step out when the door was opened.
Something I started praying for years ago was eyes to see those opportunities.
It won't be long before you start to see them - then it's on You - to choose what to do. Step out when you see it - or not. I've done both.
But I'll also share this - when you do step out - man does the Holy Spirit enter that situation in a big way!
And you're going to start to see more and more opportunities after that.
May we all start stepping out!
There are billions around us - and there are 1's around us, that need to hear hope, purpose and direction - they're tired of everything else, and tried everything else.
“Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore, pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'” – Matthew 9:37–38.
Have a great day my fren!
