Charles Colson, in his final speech, said, “I happen to be one of those who believe that societies are changed by movements at the grass roots. So how do we get the material out to people so they can use it with their neighbors? I think cultures are changed over the backyard fence and the barbecue grill. I don’t believe they’re changed from the top down.” It is not about imposing our beliefs on others, as some claim: “Don’t let them tell you that. We don’t impose anything, we propose; we propose … a better way of living, a better way of life. It’s the great proposal.” The culture battle is, as is any just war, one of self-defense, the defense of our families, our society, our way of life, our freedom and the legacy we leave our children. The battle needs to be fought because undermining vital foundations of our good society will harm people, especially children, undermine truth, threaten our freedom, and, crucially, threatens to keep people away from Jesus Christ, which is their single greatest need. Some further reading.

Craig MannersWhile 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. |
