"You've heard of 'political correctness,' that doctrine based on a new American right--the right to never be offended. If your views run counter to the official liberal agenda, it is best to remain quiet or be accused of 'verbal violence.'"
Erwin W. Lutzer
Christ Among Other gods
Moody Publishers 1994
p. 30
I love that Lutzer and Moody use smaller case letters for "gods." Because, there is only one God. I'm likely to spend a few blogs in this subject and in this book. Ray and I attended a Changing Times conference, where Lutzer and others spoke. My prayer since has been, " Help us to be ready in season and out to give a reason for the hope that is in us."
This seems like a dangerous time to be a Christian, but it is no time to be silent. We have already lost freedoms in living and expressing our faith. The speed of continuing losses will only increase with our silence. Or -- another way to look at it is this: many don't yet know Christ, nor have they claimed the promise of eternal life. Let's tell them while we can.
EverGrowing,
Lonnie
