Does the Christian quit or does the Christian challenge?
If it is true that the Holy Spirit works in each and every baptized person, then what is the role of the individual believer when something contrary to the Gospel of Jesus is preached in a faith community? Is it to sit idly and say nothing? Is it to walk out and come no more? Or is it to confront and open dialogue in search of truth?
Is it not a sad commentary that no one in a congregation is willing to question, to perhaps object, or at least seek clarification? Are members of such a congregation active thinkers, imbued with a faith commitment, and willing to face martyrdom in defense of their beliefs, or is the congregation a social gathering for song and good fellowship? Just asking.
