The Cost of Our Silence

Jan Markell and Eric Barger first talk to David Fiorazo, author of the new book, The Cost of Our Silence: The Consequences of Christians Taking the Path of Least Resistance. Find the book here. How can any of us remain silent when we see the rampant evil running amok today? Our silence has tragic consequences, and we may not have a lot of time left to speak up. As Bonhoeffer said, “Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.” Then Jan Markell closes with a commentary about the mockers. She was notified that a church in Washington State made fun of “End-Time Eddies.” Why are our churches today denigrating the greatest news there is: The King is coming?
