Christians have shown themselves to be basically cowards.
At best, if Christian Americans altogether stayed home from work and simply did not leave their home to spend a solitary dime for 24-48 hours, I believe the nation would shut down, or wish it could.
We Christians are not organized or unified enough to even pull off doing virtually NOTHING in unison.
Truth has fallen in the Streets, very nicely written.
Excellent piece.
Wisdom ends her prologue to The Proverbs of Solomon with a rather biting summation (9:12):
“If you are wise, you are wise for yourself;
if you scoff, you alone will bear it.”
I also really liked your reference to “the trauma of holiness”!
