A Needed Warning

Today we went to a Air and Space Museum.  The planes were awesome and the space crafts were cool.  Listening to Sherman and Charles talk about WWII was amazing and fun.  But this quote from a speech stood out and breaks my heart:

"With the monstrous weapons man already has, humanity is in danger of being trapped in this world by its moral adolescents.  Our knowledge of science has clearly outstripped our capacity to control it.  We have many men of science, but too few men of God.  We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.  Man is stumbling blindly through a spiritual darkness while toying with the precarious secrets of life and death.
The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience.  Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.  We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing than we know about living.  This is our twentieth century's claim to distinction and to progress."  - General Omar Bradley - November 10, 1948.

Who are we not talking to?  What do we need to do to get them to hear?  Why are we not going out?  Where do we need to go? When will we take the time?
We need to share Christ with everybody!
