"Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us."
It seems that this is where Christianity is struggling, we have the being "accused of doing wrong" down to a science, but we're still struggling with doing good deeds. So much of Christianity in the media is stuff like Quran burning, or the Westboro Baptists, but we have nothing for doing good. I don't know if that's because most good deeds aren't newsworthy, but why aren't Christians the first to respond to disasters like the Haiti earthquake or the floods in Pakistan? It would be so much harder to crticize us if we lived as we were called to.
