I will never forget the impact of these words on the wall of the Imperial War Museum in London “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” (Edmund Burke) as they hit me after viewing the horrors of the Jewish holocaust.
In his book “Letter to the American Church”, Eric Metaxes highlights the very real possibility that millions wouldn’t have died because of World War II if the 12000 German protestant pastors who didn’t support Hitler but remained silent had joined with the courageous 3000 pastors who were opposed to Hitler (note 3000 pastors also sided with Hitler, thinking they and their churches would get a better deal - NO they didn’t)
Where do you stand today as our nation faces the threat of the evils of both global and cultural Marxism?
With the 3000, complicit, deceived or think you will get a better deal siding with evil?
With the 12000, silent to evil, however, supporting it through silence?
With the 3000, who dared to speak up against evil, despite the cost?
NEVER THINK THAT YOU CAN’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Never forget that you and I have no idea what God will do with our actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, a Russian writer, became a Christian in the prison hospital of his gulag labour camp after one of the doctors sat at his bedside and told him why he became a follower of Jesus. That night the doctor was clubbed to death and died not knowing that “he had led a man back to faith in God, a man who, in turn, would be a witness to millions by his writings, which exposed the horrors of communist rule”.

WE MUST BREAK THE SPIRAL OF SILENCE
I addressed this crucial issue to stop being silent in FRIDAY RAVE 17, 30th December 2022 - “In 2023, we MUST Break the Spiral of Silence.”
‘The Spiral of Silence is a theory developed by German political scientist Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann in the 1970s, which explains how people fear
social isolation to the point that they generally go along with what they think is the popular opinion — even if they object to that opinion themselves.
Instead of speaking up, they remain silent. And their silence encourages others to remain silent. Even worse, as silence spirals down, the cost to those who speak up increases.
We all have non-threatening opportunities to speak up, whether talking with our children/grandchildren, talking with neighbours, talking across the dinner table with relatives who disagree, daily interactions with people, speaking up on social media and writing to politicians. These opportunities
Matter.
We must break the spiral of silence in 2023 and speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and not be afraid to offend. As Thomas Paine (an American political activist) said, “he who dares not offend cannot be honest.”
I will conclude with my words to someone pleased to inform me about mutual friends who are awake to what is happening “but are just silent about it”.
My response -
“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.”
