TOO TIMID TO RESIST

By A. W. Tozer

Speak every man truth with his neighbor; for we are
members one of another.  Ephesians 4:25

    The clever proponents of evil political ideologies are
spending millions to make us Americans ashamed to love
our country. They use every means possible to persuade
our own people that there is little left worth defending
and certainly nothing worth dying for.

    They are building in the public mind a picture of an
American as a generous, tolerant, smiling chap who loves
baseball and babies, and who subscribes wholly to the
doctrine of the brotherhood of man---so everything is
going to be all right!

    From our point of view, these concepts are having their
effects on the nation's religious life, especially among
Protestants.

    Let a man rise to declare the unique Lordship of Jesus
Christ and the absolute necessity of obedience to Him,
and he is at once branded as a hate-monger and a divider
of men.

    The devil has brainwashed large numbers of religious
leaders so successfully that they are now too timid to
resist him! And he, being the kind of devil he is, takes
swift advantage of their cowardice, erecting altars to Baal
everywhere!

Yours in Christ,
Paul N. F.
