Speak up. All it takes for evil to reign is for good men and women to do and say nothing.

Speak boldly. All it takes for evil to reign is for good men and women to do and say nothing. Speak the truth in love and leave the results to God.

As Os Guinness reminds us, in the end, Christian persuasion is “not for salesmen, propagandists . . . spin doctors . . . and the like.” The art of Christian persuasion “is for those who desire to share the way of Jesus because of their love for Jesus, and who know that love is also a key part of any human being’s search for knowledge and truth.”

“And true to the Holy Spirit, Christian persuasion must always know and show that the decisive power is not ours but God’s.”

Keep speaking the truth in love. Do not be afraid.

While much of what is written in this Blog may currently appear to be counter-cultural, given our post-truth culture, it is in no way counter-human beings. I am always for people no matter what they think, do, or may have done in their past. Where I put forward ideas or debate against certain ideology, behaviour, ideas, movements, politics, I remain very much on the side of the human beings even though I may be opposed to their worldview, behaviour and politics. Such opposition is generally out of concern for the ultimate consequences of such behaviour or ideas, especially for children.

Speak up. All it takes for evil to reign is for good men and women to do and say nothing.
