Silent Compromise
by Jimmy Jividen
It is cowardly not to stand up for your
convictions. If you believe a thing is right and
true, by all means, say so! The silent majority
cannot change things unless they have the courage
to stand up and be counted.
John speaks of a group of Jewish leaders who
practiced silent compromise:
"Nevertheless many even of the rulers believed in
Him, but because of the Pharisees they were not
confessing Him, lest they should be put out of the
synagogue" (John 12:42).
Those Jewish leaders believed in Jesus but they
compromised their faith by saying nothing. They
did not want the disapproval of the Pharisees or
to be cast out of the synagogue, so they kept
silent. They were afraid.
All it takes for error to prevail is for those who
know the truth to say nothing.
