Relationship with Society

I have written a few blogs about relationships with individuals. I am interested in how people relate to society as a whole as well. Do we have a responsibility to society in some way?
For the most part, I tend to think of myself as an individual with ideas and beliefs somewhat different from the rest of the people I know as society. My beliefs are different in that I believe the Holy Bible and the Laws of God to be more valid to guiding my lifestyle than the consensus of the general public. Using the argument 'everyone is doing it' does not make it right for me.
As a Christian, or follower of the Way, I believe that the Messiah came, and we call Him Jesus Christ in English. I am not perfect by any means, but I hope to become more like Him. I read in the Word how He interacted with society...and I think His Way is the right and true Way that we should follow. Be kind to everyone, help those you can, obey the law, and share what you know with those who want that happiness you have. When you have that kind of clarity, you understand the "Peace that passeth understanding". I know there is much more to it. I know that we have to be responsible to ourselves, our families, and to the community. With that in mind, I have thought about writing a new category of blogs related to the law, our economic problems, and some of the ideas I have that would work if the rest of society was willing to break out of some archaic thinking. I have already started that new blog...the site is called Our World--My Thoughts. http://houziwang68.blogspot.com/
