SILENCE
Today's reading: Jeremiah 47-52

"...Has counsel perished from the prudent?.." Jeremiah 49:7 ESV

The godly, moral, ethical and good folks have stopped speaking up.

-For fear of hurting anyone's feelings.

-Because they don't want to make anyone feel bad.

-They don't want to segregate--another or themselves by taking an unpopular stand.

-They don't want to cause a stir.

-They figure they won't be listened to anyway.

-They might be considered old-fashioned.

-They don't want to be the only one.

And because they have silenced themselves our country falters. Our rights are being taken away by the wrong crowd. Our children are being led away. Our churches are less on fire against sin and more comforting of it.

There is plenty of counsel needed.

Plenty.
