I couldn't have said it any better. Everything you said is right on point.
Freedom not exercised is freedom lost. Remain silent long enough, and you'll one day find you've lost the ability to speak at all. Remain seated while tyranny destroys everything around you, and the day will come when you've lost the ability to stand at all.
There's a battle of words occurring on the internet over this outrage, and I think that's a good sign. It means that ordinary people are exercising their freedom to speak, and a great many are backing their words up with positive action. It's a precursor to the battles that lie ahead, and that gives me a great deal of confidence about our future.
I believe quite firmly that if (as) more people dig roots into God again, their boldness will come back.
Some might laugh at my tag as childish. But it is true. The Lion of Judah will roar for me and for you. And even better He will roar IN us.
