”The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Edmund Burke.
Good men (and women) do nothing out of ignorance or fear. Neither are good.
Ignorance can happen because of censorship or distraction while fear can be the result of cultural or physical threats. Larry Taunton had some excellent insights on this latter point and are well worth your time to consider them.
Specifically…
- How Christians need to step up for the sake of the Gospel and by definition, the sake of humanity (”The highest calling of a Christian is not to be civil; it is to be salt and light.”).
- How righteous anger is possible and indeed, needed (”…evangelicals have confused Christ’s command to love others with being likable, as if that were an attribute of God. (It isn’t.)”)
- To be Salt and Light despite the rising violent tide against it.
