Change a society - Preach the Gospel!

Government, Laws, Regulations. God has ordained these as earthly graces to kerb the human heart from reaching its full potential, that potential of utter lawlessness, the opportunity for man to reach ravaging murderous fits of hellish proportions. If he was "let go", an unrestrained youth would achieved as much as Adolf or Stalin, if not more. I could not bear to think of the consequences.
But does Legislation or Policy that is friendly to the Christian Worldview foster a culture that makes the conversion of the unregenerate easier? This is a question worth asking.

Consider this scenario:
A feminist Member of Parliament is spending all her time putting forward bills to legislate rights for abortion, gay marriage and various other things consistent with that worldview.

Will she change her mind about this worldview if she is debated in parliament? Maybe? Stranger things have happened.

But what would happen if she was met by a Christian, witnessed to, the Holy Spirit convicted her of sin, righteousness and judgment. Then at home she fell on her knees before God with true contrition and sorrow for her offences to Him, and our Lord granted her repentance? Would she change her views about abortion? Or rather, would her heart be so changed, that she has new views and new desires? The desires that a Christian has.

Approaching the issues of Government and Gospel Biblically is essential. It also helps us to decide how we spend our time.
