It happens as surely as the sun rising every morning. Every
time I pen a call to action, or insist that the children of God are meant to be
more than the stepping stools of the godless, there are inevitably one, two,
five, ten e-mails from individuals reminding me that they are just one person,
and there really isn’t much one person could do.
The excuses are well detailed in every correspondence, from
them not having a platform, to them not wanting the blowback from family and
friends because they’ve been spending so much time trying to win them to
Christ, to the more generic, ‘I’m just one person. What can one person really
do?’
I have come to believe that this notion of numerical
inferiority is one of the tools and snares the enemy uses most often to keep
the children of God silent. It is a brilliant con, and as all brilliant cons,
it is almost childlike in its simplicity: You simply provide the individual
with justification for not doing what they know they ought to be doing.
You see, what the enemy is intent on doing is keeping you
from finding your voice in the first place. He knows that once you open your
mouth to speak, once you stand on the foundation of truth and defend the name
of Christ, once you stand in the gap and step out fully aware of the slings and
arrows that will come your way, you will realize that this fear of being
numerically inferior, or not being able to affect any change because you’re
just one person is a well-constructed but baseless lie.
There is a quote I believe to be attributed to Thomas Sowell
that highlights just how irrelevant numbers are when it comes to rational
arguments and making an impact in society. He is quoted as having said, ‘It’s
amazing how much panic one honest man can spread among a multitude of
hypocrites.’
This truth perfectly encapsulates why numbers rarely matter
except for when it comes to war. If you are standing on a foundation of truth,
then though you might stand alone, the fact that you are standing on truth will
strike fear into the hearts of those who have surrendered themselves to deceit.
The only reason the godless are winning is because they godly
are being silent. They make so much noise that one would think they were in the
majority, when all indicators prove that they are not. No matter how much they
try to tell you otherwise, transgender toddlers, pedophilia, the quashing of
free speech, debasement, hedonism, and purposeless existences are not what the
majority in this country ascribe or aspire to. It only seems that way because
the moral, the virtuous, the upright and the godly are utterly silent in the
face of screaming purple haired harpies with holes in their faces and a penchant
for misspelled tattoos meant to have a deeper meaning hidden to everyone but
the Tide pod eater who thought it would be a brilliant idea after a bottle of
peach schnapps.
It is now past obvious that silence is not the answer. The
silence of the godly emboldens the godless. The silence of the godly gives the
godless a sense of security, wherein they come to believe that the echo chamber
of idiocy in which they live is actually the real world everyone is accustomed
to.
If history has taught us anything, it is that a majority who
is silent long enough will be forever silenced by the vociferous minority which
continues to push its agenda. Eventually, inevitably, there comes that turning,
that moment, that crossroads wherein the silent will want to speak, find their
voice, and make their arguments heard, but alas, they’ve been silent for so
long, and have acquiesced so much power to the godless, that out will come the
muzzles at the first stirring, and at the first sign that those who have long
been silent might want to speak in their own defense.
With love in Christ,
