How to Stop Wokeness and Stand for Truth | with Dr. James Lindsay
I Don't Have Enough FAITH to Be an ATHEIST
The Provocation of Gentleness
The insight emphasizes the importance of having discernment and composure when sharing one's faith, as advised by Jesus to be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. However, there is a tendency for some to misinterpret this advice, focusing only on being gentle while neglecting discernment. This selective interpretation can lead to Christians losing their faith backbone and falling apart. The goal of this selective interpretation is to provoke Christians into reacting poorly, ultimately abandoning both principles of discernment and gentleness. To counter such provocations, one should expose them for what they are and not react in the desired manner. This approach aligns with the biblical advice of turning the other cheek, not to be trampled, but to allow public exposure of insults. By maintaining faith, praying for enemies, and handling provocations with composure and discernment, Christians can navigate such challenges effectively.
