And a society that meets evil ONLY by martyring itself will also lose. Even Jesus Christ was content not simply to die, but to arise a conquering victor who would seem ruthless enough to His sworn enemies. And was it for naught that He told His disciples to get a sword too?
They’ve taken God out of the classroom. They’ve taken nativity scenes from the public square. They’ve taken the Ten Commandments from court houses and public buildings. They’ve taken prayer from high school football games and graduation addresses. The list of these deliberate acts seems endless.
They continue to do everything they can to diminish God and rip him from the fabric of our culture. They wish to destroy whatever is left of our Judeo-Christian tradition.
In such an environment, is it any surprise that evil is emboldened to enter?
