Restating the Obvious

“We have reached the point in history, George Orwell
said, when the first duty of intelligent people is to restate the obvious. Never
has evil been so powerful, so obvious, and so destructive as in our modern
world. Never has our language to describe it and our ethical will to resist it
been so uncertain and so confused…Never has the responsibility of free men and women
been so urgent. Never has Edmund Burke’s
admonition been more timely: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.” What then should we do? The choice—and the
consequences—is ours and our children’s.” Os Guinness. (2004). Never Again? You Never Know. But not through me: Seven steps
to facing up to the challenge of evil and suffering. The Trinity Forum, page 6.

“He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also
in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also
in much.” Jesus Christ, Luke:
16:10 NASB
