Cowardice

Many years ago, a “man” - “a man of god”, a preacher, a teacher, a bible school freaker - came to me as I was loading our belongings on our truck to leave the community; shaking the dust off our feet. This “man of god“ said he had heard we were leaving and wanted to say farewell. I took him by the shoulder, keeping my blade sheathed, and said to him (you know who you are Jono), “All that is required for evil to flourish is that you continue to remain silent. You have turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse of children - in the community, in your church and in your own family. Go home and explain to your son why you have done this, then start this day preparing your excuses for my Father”. He had nothing to say then, and he will have nothing to say in that Day. The war against the children is the war against our Father. All of us, as true brothers and sisters of Yeshua, have been fighting this war our whole lives. Our blades are now unsheathed.
