"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority." --Lord John Acton
There is a joke about a guy who is whitewashing a church when thunderstorms threaten, and he is running out of paint and time. So he adds water to the remaining whitewash to finish the job. Suddenly lightning flashes, thunder rolls, the rain unleashes, and much of the whitewash washes away! A Voice in the thunder declares: “Repaint, and thin no more!”
White Evangelical America has an enormous “repainting” job ahead if it genuinely aspires (pun an afterthought) to stop “thinning!” There seems little hope that collectively they will even begin to rise to the occasion! They would apparently rather whitewash their own sin-decrepit churches–and risk tragically scuttling America even more so in the process.
In place of that, for those WACs who might have eyes to see, ears to hear, let the lightning flash, the thunderstorm and attendant Voiceroll–“on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream!”2Amen!!!
