We shouldn't live our lives as if our choices have no significance; however, we would also do well(fellow Christians) to understand the fact that God is in control. He can pull this car over at any moment and set things right.

Don't forget that no matter what damage people do to one another or the environment, no matter how corrupt our governments are, God is able to right the ship. This is His world after all. We are merely stewards for a short season and knowing this is quite comforting.
