Franklin should recall Elijah’s confrontation with, and mocking of, the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18:27 - 29.
He didn’t worry about what was PC. And yes, he paid a big price for his boldness. Hint: The people slaughtered the false prophets and Queen Jezebel blamed Elijah.
But maybe his boldness is why we still remember what he did today.
Paul intentionally took the uncircumcised Timothy into the Temple...to challenge the legalistic Judaizers.
