We Must Not Remain Silent

By Franklin Graham

The war against Christian values and those who embrace them is full on. We can’t stick our heads in the sand and pretend forces of evil are dormant. If we remain silent, our children and grandchildren will pay a tremendous price for our inaction. We must be like the Prophet Daniel, who continued to pray to Jehovah God even though he knew he was violating the orders of the Babylonian king to worship him alone. Looking west toward Jerusalem, Daniel “knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days” (Daniel 6:10). Daniel courageously obeyed God in the face of a pagan culture, even risking his own life in the process. “The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (Daniel 11:32). With God’s help, we will pray, we will stand boldly for God’s truth, and we will never compromise with a godless culture that defies and despises the principles of Scripture. We stand, knowing that in the end, God will judge all those who are opposed to Him, and He will establish His perfect will and Kingdom on earth just as it is in Heaven. May that day come soon.
