He left behind admonitions which have echoed in the ears of the church ever since. To be silent as evil progresses is to be complicit in the evil itself.
I began this article by talking about our meeting Wednesday and the role it plays in highlighting the amazing accomplishments of our Oklahoma women. Women who spoke out in order to right a wrong.
Maria Wittner was a Hungarian woman and a freedom fighter. She was acclaimed as a Hungarian hero. Rod Dreher quotes her in his book, Live Not by Lies. Rod quotes her as saying:
If your soul is free, then your thoughts are free, and then your words are going to be free. What is fear? Someone who is afraid is going to be made to do the most evil things. If someone is not afraid to say no, if your soul is free, there is nothing they can do to you.
I’ll quote Russian Baptist Pastor Yuri Sipko. Dreher quotes his words in his book:
You need to confess him and worship him in such a way that people can see that this world is a lie. This is what reveals man as an image of God.
Don't miss an amazing story of bold and cunning planning on the part of some Oklahoma women to stop a Marxist take-over of the National Federation of Republican Woman last fall. A group of women who strategized and spoke out regarding evil in their midst.
