For me the key word is evil – as Christians we are always to resist evil.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12.
There are many who people have fallen into the “evil of this world” and we should show mercy to them and be the light – we should be the ones who are there to help them. The battles are not against the people who are the victims but against the evil that they are prisoners to.
In order to do this folks have to see a difference between us and “them” – which is why Scripture tells us to be “in the world but not of the world.” Are our lights bright enough to be beacons to a lost and dying world or are we so involved in our own agendas that we’re hidden in the shadows?

Christians, are we arbiters of social justice or dispensers of grace to society?
