At the beginning of his memoirs Winston Churchill argues WWII could have easily been prevented.
Wow... what a tragedy it wasn't.
But unfortunately, as he put it, “The malice of the wicked was reinforced by the weakness of the virtuous.”
Be sure and catch the timeless principle here...
Evil gets bolder and gains the upper hand when good people lack the courage and strength to oppose it.
In other words...
Virtue alone is insufficient.
It needs to be backed up with a willingness to think, pray, speak and act... all under the guidance and power of the Holy Spirit.
