15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect,
1 Peter 3:15 (NIV, ©2011)
The scripture says it so well. The liberties, and freedom of the present age can lead to reckless abandon and destruction. Believers as salts of the world must spice and influence the world and not the other way round. We will be required to stand up for our believes, hopes and truths we share and have. When we get to this situation, it is another opportunity in disguise to witness and showcase the Maker of All. Our delivery and witness of the message must be right, with the message packaged for reception by the targeted audience. The audience receiving the message is also as important as the message itself. It must be gentle, and not hostile or fanatical.
The times and situations will dictate the mode of delivery and how it will be accepted. Our goal must be to continue to seek creative means under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit to package and deliver the good news to this modern age without fuss, fanfare or taking out of the message. The Lord's delivery was perfect and always changing lives forever. Our witnessing and delivery of the message and good news must have the same outcomes.
Be encouraged,

I think you'll want to place a facebook icon to your site. Just marked down this site, but I had to complete it manually. Simply my 2 cents.
