Not powerless

Dan Edelen has some hard-hitting ideas about Christian confrontation of corrupt systems. According to Dan, far too many Christians, seduced by defeatest notions of the so-called Serenity Prayer, resign themselves to doing nothing to oppose systemic evil--systems, they believe, that exist among "the things I cannot change." Here's Dan:

Look, you and I can’t change our chronological age, our ancestry, the era into which we were born, and a few things like that. But nearly everything else is up for grabs. Ours is not a calling to serenity but to go out there and fight systems, no matter how innocuous they may seem.

Good point. I recommend Dan's whole post.
