I believe the good Lord certainly wants concern, but not brittleness.
Maybe society is weak. Maybe this is the only way it now has power to show its mounting displeasure.
But the result is that Target is now the target (divine pun?) of all the outrage, and that in such a way that it won’t ever reach to populations where it would do a lot more good.
Do we really think Walmart will keep its bathrooms rape-proof by not explicitly announcing something like Target did? Target only made explicit what was already implicit. They committed a sin of honesty, in one sense.
May the people begin to realize that if they do not get right with God in far more fundamental ways, and that doesn’t mean presuming to turn all society into a Christian club, God won’t prosper them otherwise as well. You can be right but dead right, as they used to teach us in driving class.
Well said, HTR.
