Lame excuses. Both Christ and John the Baptist spoke out against sin and evil around them, and Christ drove the buyers and sellers out of the temple in Jerusalem twice. Since Christians are lights in the world, they must expose darkness whenever possible.
I thought those excuses were lame too. What's hard is then the believers who do speak out then incur all the grief while those such as my friend get to sit and watch TV and enjoy their ice cream and reap the benefits of the work of the doers. I just don't think God is going to hold us guiltless. Look at the world we're leaving to this next generation. These youth don't stand a chance.
They're teaching these kids perversion - it's being pushed by Hollyweird and is even in cartoons. A woman at our old church's daughter is a school psychologist and said that a lot of youth are coming to her with gender identity issues. That didn't just happen - that was planted in their minds.
I really fear for this next generation. If we don't all take up our cross and act it's going to be suffering upon suffering.
